Chaste persons know how to live a life of self-giving. They are not self-centred and know how not to get involved in selfish relationships with other people. Such people respect others and consider them as persons to be loved and not as objects to be used. They wish the true good of others and do not force themselves on them. Considered in this way it may be said that" Chastity is the spiritual power which frees love from selfishness and aggression" (The Pontifical Council for the Family, 1995, no. 16).
