Sexually virtuous and pursued we're told (6)
I believe the answer is:
chaste
'sexually virtuous' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'pursued we're told' is the wordplay.
'pursued' becomes 'chased' (synonyms).
'we're told' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'chased' is a homophone of 'CHASTE'.
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for chaste that I've seen before include "Unsullied" , "avoiding relations" , "Sexually virtuous" , "Innocent" , "Decorous" .)
