“ Celibacy is defined as the lifestyle of someone who is, and is striving to remain, unmarried all his/her life.
It is also used to describe a state of life where one chooses to abstain from all sexual activities.
Often, it is incorrectly used to refer to a mixed, an involuntary, or even temporary abstinence from sexual relations - celibacy is by definition a freely chosen state of being unmarried and practicing sexual abstinence.
