The term "abstinence" has been employed in literature to evoke a range of meanings, from religious self-denial and moral rectitude to health practices and even psychological phenomena. In ancient and religious texts, authors used it to signify not merely a lack of physical indulgence but a disciplined pursuit of spiritual purity, as seen in the praises of abstinence in sacred worship ([1], [2]). At the same time, writers like Thomas Jefferson and Freud approached abstinence pragmatically—whether referring to the physical consequences of fasting or as an element within broader psychoanalytical theories ([3], [4], [5]). In works of fiction, such as those by Lewis Carroll and Louisa May Alcott, the word further connotes personal restraint, either to accentuate a character’s eccentricity or to underline moral fortitude ([6], [7]). Thus, across diverse genres and epochs, abstinence serves as a multifaceted symbol of both self-imposed limitation and the profound human pursuit of a higher or more disciplined way of life.
