Sure, I guess you could say that's what abstinence means, to you, but I guess you just have to figure that out for yourself. From a language point of view, abstinence, the act of abstaining, simply means you keep from doing something, so you can fill that in however you like. If I'd be abstaining in my relationship, I suppose that'd rule out anything remotely sexual, simply because we combine everything, it's not like we plan it in advance.
One time, when I just intended to make her relax a little, we ended up having sex in her basement, so abstaining to us would probably have to be completely laying off anything sexual.
I hope that's sort of the answer you were looking for?
Good luck with whatever you wanted to know for.
