You have asked this question here also – http://gopal4mission.wordpress.com/about/. I am pasting the same reply which I gave there.
We will have to do lots of work among the student community of India and elsewhere on this topic. All the articles on this blog are solid. The brahmacharya articles seem to be coming in top results of google, bing, etc. Let everyone read these articles – all techniques have been explained with precision in these articles. Those who have woken up late due to lack of knowledge, let them not brood over the past as that is not only useless, but also harmful. Let them focus on present, use instructions given in these articles and enjoy the fruits of brahmacharya now and hereafter.
Thanks,
Gopal

just want to remind you that Mahatma gandhi ji started observing bhramacharya at or after age of 36 years and you know what heights he was able to reach in this life. So you are still good to go. All the best, it is not that easy but surely worth it. om
