Abstinence from sexual relations (8)

I believe the answer is:

chastity

(Other definitions for chastity that I've seen before include "Sexual abstinence" , "Sexual purity" , "Medieval contraceptive device" , "Abstinence and purity" , "Abstention from carnal activity" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
