Question

Which refusal and avoidance actions are appropriate for someone who intends to remain abstinent? Check all that apply.

After talking about their decision to remain abstinent, the couple agrees to sexual activity that does not involve intercourse.
Marco signed an abstinence agreement with his parents, but lately he has been attending parties at friends’ homes where parents aren’t around and there are alcohol and drugs.
Before going on a first date, Jose sets boundaries by discussing his decision to remain abstinent with his date.
In an effort to prevent a potentially unsafe situation, Mia decides not to attend parties if drinking is involved and she doesn’t know most of the people.
Because Harmon is known for having sex with past girlfriends, Angela decides it is best to not go to prom with him.

Answer 1

The last three are right

Answer 2

• Before going on a first date, Jose sets boundaries by discussing his decision to remain abstinent with his date.
• In an effort to prevent a potentially unsafe situation, Mia decides not to attend parties if drinking is involved and she doesn’t know most of the people.
• Because Harmon is known for having sex with past girlfriends, Angela decides it is best to not go to prom with him.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question above refers to sexual abstinence.

The term sexual abstinence refers to a situation where an individual decides that he will not participate in any type of sexual activity, or activities that encourage the practice of sexual relations, during a certain period of life.

In this case, the individual who decides to adopt sexual abstinence stays away from situations that can break the concept of abstinence, such as participating in parties with alcohol and drugs and having a relationship with people who are sexually active.

In summary, we can show three examples of people who maintained sexual abstinence:

• Before going on a first date, Jose sets boundaries by discussing his decision to remain abstinent with his date.
• In an effort to prevent a potentially unsafe situation, Mia decides not to attend parties if drinking is involved and she doesn’t know most of the people.
• Because Harmon is known for having sex with past girlfriends, Angela decides it is best to not go to prom with him.
