Secondary abstinence is a term that refers to people who are sexually experienced (not virgins) but choose to become abstinent (no longer sexually active). Some common reasons people choose to become abstinent following initiation of sex include contracting an STD, unintended pregnancy, and moral or faith-related reasons. One important aspect of secondary abstinence is CHOOSING not to engage in sex until some predetermined endpoint. Someone who simply hasn't had sex for a while (i.e. doesn't have partner) is not a secondary abstainer.
