I'm not at all qualified to comment on this subject, but I'll share something I remember Steve saying:

In the popular book Think and Grow Rich, there's a chapter devoted to sex energy. Supposedly people who are highly sexed can be very successful (in a material sense) once they learn to channel their sex energy into their work. However, this rarely happens before a person reaches their 40s.

It seems like there's a finite supply, which seems contradictory to the impression I got from Hill, which was that it was the most powerful drive in humans. Something about sex natures. Blah.

You may actually be able to have your cake AND eat it too. Consider what Steve said in his blog post, Ask Steve - Sex:

So my question is, once you’ve worked through these emotional isues and are enjoying a rich and rewarding monogamous sex life, how do you continue to grow sexually? Once sex has helped you heal your emotional wounds, what role should it continue to play in your life?

Here are some of the possibilities I’ve been considering:

Rechannel it. I noticed that as I’ve gotten older, I’ve been able to more consciously channel my sexual energy into creative pursuits instead of being preoccupied with sex like I was during my 20s. I found it interesting that Napoleon Hill devotes a full chapter to this in Think and Grow Rich. He found that the wealthy people he studied were very highly sexed and had learned to rechannel their sex energy into their work.

So maybe Steve can provide some "how to" info in this thread or in a future blog post or something since he seems to have an idea of how to do it.

My interpretation is that more sex = more sex energy to work with. I think by thinking you're working with a limited sex drive you are, well, limiting yourself. There must be a way to increase it or keep energy flowing through it rather then depleting it. Looks like you may have to do some experimentation. Be sure to report back with your findings (but hold the graphic detail ).
