Chastity

Chastity is the act of keeping one's self pure of any sexual activity either until marriage or for life. It is considered a virtue in Christianity, particularly in sects such as Catholicism where priests, monks, and nuns take upon themselves a vow of chastity in order to devote themselves solely to God.

In Smurf society in the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series, chastity is enforced mostly through the cultural understanding among its members that Smurfs may not engage in any sexual activity with a member of the opposite sex until marriage. Tapper, being a Smurf who has devoted himself to his faith in God through Jesus Christ, constantly prays for his heart and mind (and that of his fellow Smurfs) to remain pure until marriage.
