It goes without saying that this is a controversial one. “Chastity” also has had shifting meanings and connotations over time and isn’t necessarily confined to sex the way we usually use the term today. It’s often mentioned in lists of virtues, so I included it here, though not very enthusiastically. Certainly lust drives people to do dumb stuff, so there’s that. Saying that chastity is a virtue can imply that sex is dirty, which has been a can of worms.
