Why Contrary Virtue: Chastity might be annoying:

    How comfortable is a chastity belt or condom, anyway?
    Yeah, give a guy a healthy libido and fuck with it (sound familiar?).
    Hardly anyone is completely clean in their thoughts — not morally, and certainly not sexually (televangelists, anyone?).

Why Contrary Virtue: Chastity might not be annoying:

    Author Mollie Hobaugh-Sorensen called it ‘The Forgotten Virtue.’
    Many marriages in the western world are based on such a vow.
    It is a sub-class of Temperance, only more sexual in definition.
