There are social, emotional. and physical benefits to abstinence

It is true that there are social, emotional, and physical benefits to abstinence. When it comes to social benefits, this is especially true for some cultures that value virginity and purity, so an abstinent person is a "better" person, and will not be judged. When it comes to emotional benefits, you are likely to be more stable emotionally if you don't have to think about such "adult" issues. When it comes to physical benefits, that one is obvious - no pregnancy.
