Meaning of Brahmacharya:

Brahmacharya is a thing, not a person. (Let's not confuse it with brahmacārī). It's a Vedic idea, so let's define it from a Vedic viewpoint.

And Vedic Brahmacarya is not primarily about celibacy, but about learning and proceeding by the path of brahman - by seeking the knowledge behind mantras, by following a discipline that shows your commitment, respect and focus.

Celibacy is only a background for greater focus, is recommended by sutras for this reason. Brahmacarya itself isn't celibacy & the house-dwellers who cohabit only for procreation are also fit for brahmacarya; they can continue to learn Vedas even post marriage.
