You can sublimate the energy generated by the power of sexual or aggressive attraction. Due to the cultural prohibitions of society, a person cannot express this attraction in the form in which he would like to realize it. Therefore, sexual and aggressive energy is sublimated into other activities. Unsatisfied energy residues are transformed into dreams, fantasies.

one
Due to the fact that both of these attractions are already inherent in a small child, sublimation begins to work from an early age. Those activities in which the child directs his energy should give him no less pleasure than the imagined. But if with the help of aggression or sexual action one can quickly achieve pleasure, then in other forms it will take more time and energy to achieve the same feeling. The child begins to draw, sculpt. Sublimation of energy through drawing can gain a foothold as a favorite activity, and a person can use it throughout his life. Attraction will be encrypted in symbols and in the brightness of the image colors.

In adolescence, sublimation of energy requires additional forms, because there is a "breakthrough of drives." It is at this age that children begin to actively engage in sports, looking for ways to release energy through movement.
3
Intellectualization is another form of sublimation, when adolescents direct all their energies into active cognitive activity: they think like little philosophers, are interested in new achievements in the field of science and technology. Parents direct the activities of children in the direction that is most interesting for their son or daughter, or more suitable for them in connection with the peculiarities of physical or intellectual development.

Many teenagers are independently looking for a way and form of sublimation of their energy. Sometimes they do not linger for a long time in one section or another and transfer to another until their energy finds an adequate expression in the corresponding form of activity.
5
In adolescence, sublimation of energy is best through labor. Labor itself and rewards for it are pleasing. The whole body is involved in labor. Labor is not only physical activity, but also the expression of one’s desires that cannot be realized. For example, if a child enjoys aggression, he should be told exactly those specialties that will be partially related to the realization of this attraction. For example, a surgeon: it’s almost impossible to cut a human body or pull out a tooth without pleasure. By acquiring such a specialty, a young man sublimates his attraction and directs energy into socially significant activities.
6
Adults are less likely to have to sublimate sexual energy, since they have the opportunity to realize their dreams and fantasies with a loved one. Older people sublimate energy through the need to grow fruits in the garden or in the garden. The reproductive function is manifested in the transfer to plants, because no need to raise children.
note
Any creativity of a person is a manifestation of his ability to sublimate energy. It all depends on a person’s needs: to draw, write works, sew, cook.
Useful advice
The child sometimes needs to be prompted by the method of sublimation, otherwise sexual energy will manifest itself in a "pure form." A child who has early entered into sexual relations does not show creativity or interest in learning activities, which happens in families where the organization of the upbringing process is neglected.
