PERIOD ABSTINENCE Meaning and Definition

1. Period abstinence refers to the practice of avoiding sexual intercourse or any activities that involve the introduction of sperm into the genital tract during the menstrual cycle. It is a method of birth control where couples choose to abstain from sexual activity specifically during the woman's fertile window, which typically lasts for around five to six days in a menstrual cycle.

   During this fertile period, an egg is released from the ovary and can be fertilized if sperm is present in the reproductive tract. Period abstinence relies on accurately determining the fertile days through various methods such as tracking basal body temperature, monitoring changes in cervical mucus, or using ovulation prediction kits.

   By abstaining from sexual intercourse during these fertile days, couples practicing period abstinence aim to prevent pregnancy without relying on hormonal or barrier methods of birth control. However, it is important to note that period abstinence is only effective if the couple strictly adheres to avoiding sexual contact during the fertile period.

   While period abstinence is a natural form of birth control that does not involve the use of devices or chemicals, it requires careful monitoring and understanding of a woman's menstrual cycle. It also requires open and effective communication between partners to ensure compliance with the abstinence period.

Etymology of PERIOD ABSTINENCE

The word "period" in the context of "period abstinence" refers to a specific time frame or interval. It comes from the Latin word "periodus", which in turn is derived from the Greek word "periodos". "Periodos" is a combination of "peri" meaning "around" and "odos" meaning "way" or "path".

The term "abstinence" comes from the Latin word "abstinēre", which means "to hold back" or "to keep away from". It is formed by combining the prefix "ab-" (meaning "away from" or "against") and the verb "stinēre" (meaning "to keep" or "to restrain").

Thus, when putting the words together, "period abstinence" refers to abstaining or refraining from something ("abstinence") for a specific interval or time period ("period").
