Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The couple is choosing to abstain from insertive sexual activities to reduce the risk of contracting STIs until they can get tested. This is an example of selective abstinence, where individuals choose to abstain from specific sexual activities rather than all sexual activity (celibacy). Safe sex typically involves the use of barriers (e.g. condoms) to reduce the risk of STIs, which is not mentioned in the scenario. Asexual behavior refers to a lack of sexual attraction to others, which is not applicable to this scenario.
