I would like to get an earnest discussion regarding this somewhat taboo and wild topic that no one really talks about. It was first brought to my attention via Think and Grow Rich, Chapter 11 but it seems it goes back to Taoist and much older ancient Eastern traditions.
The framework for this discussion I'd like to stay within is really based on the following term: transmutation.
Transmutation: the action of changing or the state of being changed into another form.
The premise of sexual transmutation could possibly be summed up as: "...it has the effect of lifting the individual far above the horizon of ordinary thought, and permits him to envision distance, scope, and quality of THOUGHTS not available on the lower plane, such as that occupied while one is engaged in the solution of the problems of business and professional routine."
"The energy must be transmuted from desire for physical contact, into some other form of desire and action, before it will lift one to the status of a genius"
Two very interesting quotes from Think and Grow Rich:
Which leads me to ask:
Beyond just surface level motivation that one can attain via period of abstinence, is it possible to really, truly, conserve and channel this specific energy into higher thoughts or greater creativity?

Between the ages of thirty and forty, man begins to learn (if he ever learns), the art of sex transmutation. ... This discovery is generally accidental ...
Seldom does an individual enter upon highly creative effort in any field of endeavor before the age of forty. The average man reaches the period of his greatest capacity to create between forty and sixty. These statements are based upon analysis of thousands of men and women who have been carefully observed. They should be encouraging to those who fail to arrive before the age of forty, and to those who become frightened at the approach of "old age," around the forty-year mark. The years between forty and fifty are, as a rule, the most fruitful. Man should approach this age, not with fear and trembling, but with hope and eager anticipation.
This study disclosed the fact that the major reason why the majority of men who succeed do not begin to do so before the age of forty to fifty, is their tendency to DISSIPATE their energies through over indulgence in physical expression of the emotion of sex
