In her book ''The New Celibacy'', Gabrielle Brown states that "abstinence is a [[response]] on the outside to what's going on, and celibacy is a response from the inside." According to this [[definition]], celibacy (even short-term celibacy that is pursued for non-religious reasons) is much more than not having [[sex]]. It is more [[intentional]] than abstinence, and its goal is personal [[growth]] and empowerment.
