節欲-節欲的各種含義

實際上,術語“性節制”可以有多種解釋:
  1. 節制所有的性活動(包括自我性刺激)。
  2. 節制所有的性接觸。
  3. 節制插入式性接觸(口交、肛門性交和陰道性交)。
  4. 節制陰道性交。
  5. 在某些時候和某些情形下節制陰道性交。
當在討論AIDS預防的時候,在宗教領袖和衛生保健專業人員的腦海裏,常常只有上述解釋中的前2條或前3條概念。狹義的節制(第4和第5條)通常只有在個人諮詢和治療的案例中才成為議題。

While the numbers have decreased somewhat over the years(Range: F. between ca. 52% and ca. 43%; M. between ca. 56% and ca. 48%), they have remained at over 40 percent. The percentage of adolescents with four or more sexual partners has remained relatively high(F: between ca. 15% and ca. 11%; M: between ca. 22% and ca. 17%).

Abstinence - Different Meanings of Abstinence

Actually, the term “sexual abstinence” can have several meanings:
  1. Abstinence from all sexual activity (including self-stimulation).
  2. Abstinence from all sexual contact.
  3. Abstinence from penetrating sexual contact (oral, anal, vaginal intercourse).
  4. Abstinence from vaginal intercourse.
  5. Abstinence from vaginal intercourse at certain times and in certain cases and situations.
When discussing AIDS prevention, religious leaders and health professionals often have only the first two or three of these meanings in mind. Abstinence in the narrower sense (4 and 5) is usually an issue only in cases of individual counseling and therapy.
