Brahmacarya, the life of celibacy, has eight aspects: one should not think

of women, speak about sex life, dally with women, look lustfully at women,

talk intimately with women or decide to engage in sexual intercourse, nor

should one endeavor for sex life or engage in sex life. One should not even

think of women or look at them, to say nothing of talking with them. This is

called first-class brahmacarya. If a brahmacari or sannyasi talks with a

woman in a secluded place, naturally there will be a possibility of sex life

without anyone’s knowledge. Therefore a complete brahmacari practices just

the opposite. If one is a perfect brahmacari, he can very easily control the

mind and senses, give charity, speak truthfully and so forth. To begin,

however, one must control the tongue and the process of eating.

(SB 6.1.12 purport)
