It's the willful refusal to have sexual intercourse for personal reasons that might include but not limited to faith, or morality.

Choosing not to have any kind of sexual intercourse. For abstinence to be effective, people must not have any kind of sex, whether vaginal, oral, or anal. Some people wait until they are past their teens. Some people wait until they get married. Others choose not to have sex at all. Choosing when or if to have sex is a hard decision for everyone.People must take responsibility and accept whatever might happen because of a choice they make. According to the Roman Catholic faith, it is the only kind of birth control.

It's refraining from anything that you would otherwise normally do, like eating meat, drinking alcohol, having sex, eating your favorite sweets. It is, simply put, denying yourself of something for a reason, it could be for health, family, religion or self discipline. Abstinence. Its good for the soul.
