It’s probably prudent move. Professional athletes should take note. However it sounds a bit like Calvinism.

Pence appears loyal to Trump personally, but I’m afraid in this case we won’t know until it’s history. Pence will be the deciding factor should Trumps Presidency become imperiled.
Sounds nothing like Calvinism. It sounds like basic Christianity. Just listen to God:
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. Matthew 26:41
Chastity and prudence are features of any well-run life, irrespective of Calvinism. Chastity is the virtue of rightly ordering one’s sexual faculties according to one’s station in life. Prudence is the virtue of thinking things through and making smart choices according to the situation.
In Vice President Pence’s situation, “chastity” means he’s not going to pursue intimate relationships with women other than his wife. “Prudence” means that, among other things, he has to consider the fact that he’s being watched at all times, and that he could be the target of trolls.
“If he can’t trust himself, why should I?”

He refuses to be alone with women who are not his wife because HE does not trust WOMEN!
Has nothing at all to do with him!
Do you realize that, given all the sexual harassment charges just this year, just about any bimbo can now claim that “such-and-so” famous rich old man sexually harassed her and absolutely ruin him?
On a FReaking ACCUSATION! NO trial! NO Judge! NO Jury! NO Conviction! A FReaking ACCUSATION!
VPOTUS is a SMART man to avoid even the tiniest HINT of impropriety!
EVERY MAN IN AMERICA SHOULD BE SO SMART!
It’s also protection against a lying woman
