[Sca-cooks] Chaste and Celibate

[Rovena]

--
[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
According to my Webster New World Dictionary:

chaste - not indulging in unlawful sexual activity; virtous; not
indecent; modest; restrained and simple in style

celibate - unmarried; single; bound by a vow to remain unmarried.

Technically neither forbid sex.   A chaste woman could be sexually
active if she were legally married so long as her behavior was modest,
restrained, and involved only her husband.
