Sexual Transmutation

Sexual Transmutation









Picasso said that for him sexuality and art were the same thing, leading us to believe that he made love as he made art
Sexual Transmutation according to Wikipedia:
“Is the attempt among some religious traditions to transform sexual energy into creativity, thereby facilitating a mystical awakening.”

Transmutation is the act of transferring sexual chemistry into a more creative environment (art, poetry, music etc) Sex desire is the most powerful of human desires.

Can I channel that powerful desire into a blank canvas again?
  
My goal is I’m not going to have any sexual activity with another person or myself until December of 2010. 
Due to many reasons:

1. I have to forget the fact that sex is the maximum component of a relationship.

3. Spiritual insight.

4. This one I’ll never share.

5. The main reason is creativity. 


I've been researching about creativity because I’ve been lost for a while now. And if it takes to give up sexual pleasure to pursue creativity, well, I will.If this works, great. If it doesn't work, oh well.

It’s been a month and it has been really hard. But at the end, it doesn’t feel bad. I’ve felt surprising energy levels the past 2 weeks and that feels great. Still working on that creativity issue. I never knew I had so many urges.


I wonder if there are other artists doing the same thing.
I wonder how many people practice this concept.

By the way, there's a lot of information about this concept. Some which I don't agree.
