From the research I’ve done it is possible to turn sexual energy into something more positive through sublimation. I am in an environment where my sex drive is high but I don’t want to use it.
I love to write stories, draw, read, and do yoga. Yoga is one of the few things that helps me relax and even feel oxytocin besides masturbation.
The problem is that even when I keep myself busy during the day, going to sleep is difficult. I cannot hide my phone as I am living in the dorms. And even without porn I’m very capable of masterbating. My Roomate is not always at the dorm and so I have many days by myself. I try not to spend very much time in my room but it’s always the nighttime that gets Whenever I try to sleep I get hard, or whenever I’m on my bed I get hard. Maybe it is part of my history of masturbating before I go to sleep as a kid. And so even when I have another person in the room, it’s very difficult to resist.
Even if I try to read in bed, I get hard, and usually it’s very long books about history not erotica.
how can I de-sexualize my room? And how can I transfer that sexual energy into something useful?
