Actually, one can be chaste if one’s sexual relations are considered appropriate within the context of one’s religion. For eg, a married Catholic couple who have only procreative, unitive, piv sex would, in fact, be performing a chaste action. Assuming, y’know, their thoughts were pure and all that stuff. From m-w: CHASTE primarily implies a refraining from acts or even thoughts or desires that are not virginal or not sanctioned by marriage vows.
Note the 2nd part.
Just so you know.
Or from the Vatican:
Chastity means the successful integration of sexuality within the person and thus the inner unity of man in his bodily and spiritual being. Sexuality, in which man's belonging to the bodily and biological world is expressed, becomes personal and truly human when it is integrated into the relationship of one person to another, in the complete and lifelong mutual gift of a man and a woman...
Or from St. Ambrose:
There are three forms of the virtue of chastity: the first is that of spouses, the second that of widows, and the third that of virgins. We do not praise any one of them to the exclusion of the others. . . . This is what makes for the richness of the discipline of the Church
In other words, this whole concept that only the abstinent are chaste is a newfangled invention of the evangelicals. Or something.

[19:46] raddidge: Usage Note: Historically, celibate means only "unmarried"; its use to mean "abstaining from sexual intercourse" is a 20th-century development. But the new sense of the word seems to have displaced the old, and the use of celibate to mean "unmarried" is now almost sure to invite misinterpretation in other than narrowly ecclesiastical contexts. Sixty-eight percent of the Usage Panel rejected the older use in the sentence He remained celibate [unmarried], although he engaged in sexual intercourse.
