What precisely defines chastity?

How would you define chastity? What does that word mean to you personally? I’ve noticed it described in many ways, ranging from simply wearing a device to prevent masturbation even while having nightly intercourse with your partner, up to several months without climaxing. Does doing it occasionally for short periods count as well? I view it more as a lifestyle characterized by very rare or zero climaxes. That perspective is easy for me because my wife and I haven’t had penetrative sex longer than we can recall; going two or three weeks without an orgasm feels like nothing to do with or without the device. Back when I was younger, I would be pacing if I went a week without one. So it really depends on your baseline. A young man accustomed to multiple climaxes daily might find skipping them for two weeks as hard as my going two months without any. There isn’t necessarily a right or wrong way to do this practice. However, does receiving light spankings with the paddles sold to vanilla couples mean you are into BDSM? For some people it does. For others, no. What is your take on chastity? How do you define it?
