what is the abstinence
Answer (1)
Abstinence means purposely choosing not to do or use something that usually gives pleasure or enjoyment. It often refers to avoiding activities like sex, drinking alcohol, smoking, or eating certain foods. The key idea is self-control or self-imposed restraint, and it’s usually done for personal, health, religious, or moral reasons. Unlike repression (which is unconscious), abstinence is a conscious, deliberate choice to hold back from those pleasures.
