Default Sexual Energy

I read on one of Steve's blogs about how many successful people are also highly sexed and manage to re channel their sexual energy into their work and other pursuits. Does anyone know if there are certain techniques to do this, or is it more to do with not being at the mercy of your sexual desires?

Energy exists, each individual decides what to do with the energy within. I believe this is true of sexual energy as well as other manifestations of energy.

Simply getting the same feeling out of one's work that you would get from sex. It Works wonders i must say.

I think comes more down to choosing to do something better with your life instead of thinking endlessly about sex, masturbating or "rutting" as they say. As for channeling your sexual energy i have no idea how you would go about that

Thanks for the comments peeps.

I think you are right Talkofthatown.

Fazk - I wonder if endlessly thinking about sex, masturbation etc is a by-product of not finding enthusiasm in work or daily life?

Holistic Star, point noted, lol.


Thanks,
Footballman.

You're right football man - when people have no central purpose and drift around and daydream their thoughts will invariably be focused on sex and when you think about something it's happens - which is why most men take themselves in hand several times a day.

You need have a higher purpose that uses this energy instead of wasting it. You need to overcome and transcend mere animal desires

lol, i bet sex doesn't happen for most people who think about it.

Unless they make it a part of their goals, there is nothing wrong with this, but as FasK said make it a part of your goals, not a drifting lost fall into sex as something to do.

When i have nothign to do sex and drinking, partying become short term relief goals. I am bored and I want relief, but when I am working and focused on something I am not nearly as preoccupied, an hour a day is enough if I have a partner, or if not i use WILLPOWER and concentrate on other things.

People who cannot control their basic urges are weak and need to fix this or they will never have hte willpower to push through the really tough times ahead that will come if you want to succeed BIG in life.

When you are overwhelmed with sexual energy, think instead of going out there and ****ing the world.

Seriously though, when I was at my last peak. I was able to transmute sexual energy into other things, more importantly. I wanted to. Masturbation, Porn, Mindless TV, Video Games, lost interests compared to higher level activities.

I feel the real me was starting to come out. My sexual energy was even stronger, than what I was used to.

You know what this made me think of right away.. That more than once I've sat alone in my room, in my pajamas, writing computer scripts on my laptop and thought that this is much better than sex. If you're comparing averages at least.

Deepak Chopra tweeted this couple of days back.

"Arousal, alertness, awakening, effervescence, enthusiasm, inspiration, creativity, magnetism are flavors of sexual-spiritual energy."

and

"Sexual energy and spiritual energy are different expressions of the creative primal energy of the universe."

Sex Energy

It's in the first paragraph.


Does anyone think that lust is different to sexual energy?
I'm thinking along the lines that sexual energy is more stable, is emotional and is a real extension of inner love...whereas lust seems more unstable and is less about love...that's all I got so far...if any of you have an opinion do share..

Thanks,
Footballman.

Napoleon Hill talks about this in his book Think & Grow Rich in the chapter "The Mystery of Sexual Transmutation", although he doesn't talk so much about how to achieve it.

Tantra, on the other hand, is the art of handling sexual energy.

I can highly recommend the Tantrism book "The Multi-Orgasmic Man" by Mantak Chiak.

If I remember correctly, he also says something about sex-love transmutation happens to guys aged 40-60 which allows them to be successful in other areas of life. Or something, is that right?

Well, if you don't know how to get there, that's right, you may get there randomly at 40-60 years old. In my case, I'm 25 and I'm doing pretty well.

I read the book about 8 years ago, and from memory he says something about the age of 40 being the age of sex-love transmutation..

I just checked up on my memory and I found the e-book here; Think and Grow Rich - Google Books

the page is page 192, which is "why men seldom succeed before 40"

Pleased to hear you're doing well at age 25, but according to Napoleon Hill, it gets better when you're 40-50.. so we've got years ahead to look forward to. Woohoo!

Of course it will only get better and better over time. What I'm saying is that you don't need to wait until 40 to canalize your sexual energy to create things in your life. Either you let it happen by itself, either you make it happen now.

"The majority of men never learn that the urge of sex has other possibilities, which far transcend in importance, that of mere physical expression. The majority of those who make this discovery, do so after having wasted many years at a period when the sex is at its height prior to the age of forty-five to fifty. This is usually followed by noteworthy acheivement" Think and Grow Rich page 192.

But I like your idea too. Because there's only one moment we can live in, so there's no point in waiting 15 years for it to arrive..

I have been on the quest to channel my sexual energy for the last couple of months. I have found that the best way I can describe it is aroused=engaged. I have not been allowing myself full release for the last month and I have found that I am more in the moment and more engaged in what is going on in my life. It has tremendously improved my productivity and of course my overall energy levels.

I don't know if some of you guys are familiar with energy centers in our bodies (Chakras) and our energetic grounding to the earth and to the Universe.

The energy from the Earth is sexual energy, and your lower chakra located between your legs behind your genitals is(should be) grounded to the earth. If you can canalize that sexual energy up your spine, you can use it as a creative and inspiring force. Even during sex, if you can canalize the sexual energy up your spine away from your genitals, this will bring a totally different experience that is very empowering. That is what Tantra is about, so it for sure helps for sexual transmutation.

Quantum Touch is also about canalizing Earth energy up and using it for healing.

So if you're interested in using sexual transmutation for success in life before the age of 50, Tantra and Quantum Touch are two arts that will greatly help.

Question what about a 40 year old man who never initiates sex?

i began dating a guy 4 yrs ago, we fell in love, moved in together a year later and i had to literally beg him for sex once a month. Before living together, i had to initiate intimancy 99.999% of the time but we had it at least once or twice a week, which failed to completely satisfy my drive for it, but it was good and i loved him, and never imagined he may be gay. We fought horribly about him never wanting it and i would always call him a fag and curse him out and plead with him to just be honest with me about it, as he knows i have a very close gay guy friend. He always maintained his straightness,i couldnt take it anymore as i wanted it 3-4 times a week.(we are same age btw) i started seeing him again a couple yrs ago, but never will live with him again. i love him, but my feelings are beginning to diminish towards him as he wont come to my house (our old house), i am the one always calling him to get together at his place, and he only seems to be available around once every 1-2 months. our sex is great then, but his lack of commitment although he professes his love for me is very underwhelming. he does not carry himself femininely at all, acts super confident and is not even remotely thought of as gay by any of his friends who have known him for years. i am puzzled though-plus as side note, his ex wife cheated on him most of their entire marriage. Any ideas? Sorry this is sloppy, but all i have for internet is
my cell phone!

Reduce your frequency of masturbating. Eliminate it and rechannel the energy.

Your Brain On Porn | Evolution has not prepared your brain for today's Internet porn.

I wish I knew this when I was 15. This is probably the most important piece of knowledge I've ever overlooked in my adult life. My life would have turned out very differently, to say the least. No regrets, but it's shocking.

Masturbating to porn is unhealthy and hurts virtually every part of your life. I don't think you can become/be/feel successful masturbating multiple (more than once) times per day. The less the better.

I could write on this forever, but I'd recommend learning from above link and what other people have written. None of those self-help books mentioned this! It's true though...

I don't think that most people have this problem, but I would bet that most men with social anxiety do. Even masturbating to porn multiple times a week will affect you and lessen your drive.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with masturbating to porn. And why redirect your sexual desire onto other pursuits? Why not use it the way it was meant to be used?
