Behavioral and Emotional Components of Chaste Lifestyle

Abstract

A chaste lifestyle is one of the various types of lifestyle that contains a wide scope and studies the characteristics of interpersonal relationships. This lifestyle consists of the principles and rules that create and maintain chastity in various areas of life. In order to study the behavioral and emotional components of the chaste lifestyle with an approach to Islamic sources, this study has been conducted using analytical and descriptive methods. The findings show that not showing off, avoiding stimulating factors, satisfying sexual needs in chaste contexts, having synergism for success in maintaining chastity, contenting with possessions and protecting them, creating and increasing chaste behaviors, and reducing and eliminating anti-chastity wrong behaviors are among the most important behavioral components of a chaste lifestyle in Islamic sources. Furthermore, by control of fear and anxiety about chaste decisions and actions, interest in a healthy life and a bright future, repentance from past errors, expectation and enthusiasm for evolution and development, happiness and satisfaction of moving on the valuable path to chastity, affection and love for Allah, optimism and hope for His help, and strength of modesty and correct control and guidance of sexual emotions, we can achieve the emotional components of a chaste lifestyle.
