Coerced abstinence

Coerced abstinence means that someone is being forced to not do something that they really want to do. For example, imagine if you really wanted to eat a delicious piece of cake, but your mom told you that you couldn't have any. If you were forced to not eat the cake even though you wanted to, that would be like coerced abstinence. In some cases, people might be forced to not have sex even if they really want to. This can happen for different reasons, like maybe they have a medical condition or their parents or government thinks it's not a good idea. Sometimes people might feel frustrated or upset when they are not allowed to do something they want to do. It's important for everyone to have the right to make their own choices, as long as it does not harm themselves or others.
