Transmutation really works? Doesn't seem logical...

    I'm 28 and I feel like total crap after doing it. I definitely wanna quit. My question is the transmutation ive been hearing about. can u seriously channel your horniness into working out or playing an instrument? To me that doesnt really seem to make sense. I mean sure u can chose to play piano instead of fap when your horny but wont u just stay horny? how can that horny energy actually transform into more desire and energy to play piano? i feel like horny turned on energy is very different from creative artistic energy. am i wrong? can u expound on this concept? when i stay away from PMO I feel soo amazing. so happy. so confident, so social. I just feel like i can do anything. once i relapse I lose all those wonderful feelings and they are replaced with missory, hopelessness, self contiousness and i have a much harder time communicating because my mind is no longer clean and clear. I forget everything. I'm all scatter brained and I become completely uncomfortable with everything about me. I'm lesser in every way it seems. i hate it and will do anything to get rid of this addiction which makes me this person who i hate to be. i hate being like 2 different people. one who is confident and loving and social and extatic about life, the other is totally opposite. feels terrible and feels hopeless.

    It's not a matter of turning your "horny" energy into creativity, it's a matter of turning your whole energy into creativity, before it gets turned into horny energy.

    The idea is to replace producing semen with producing creative energy.

    I can relate to what you all said about being two different people and how you become a lesser being when you PMO.

    I previously didn't believe transmutation was real but on my longer streaks I noticed that I didn't have to constantly fight my PMO urges, rather, they disappeared because I'd programmed my mind into channeling any sexual energy (all my sexual energy were in the service of PMO) into other things and even into my state of being. You feel especially good after you respond to an urge by doing something else and mastering all that energy. It's as if you permenantly become someone more improved when you do that. The other day I was in a bus and I thought about some normal scenarios (sexual) and I decided to sublimate it willingly. I felt the aliveness in my two hands and all the while I was doing that until I got into a clearer state where the arousal was gone and it made me enter a more meditative and mindful state.

    ohh! now i understand. Thanks for the clarification you guys! I'm 3 days strong! the longest i have ever gone is 14 days but i wanna destroy that record this time! I'm gonna block my porn and give my smart phone to a friend. i find smart phones are death for us cause theres no real way to block porn. and im not just into porn. I can read naughty stories or just watch a sex video that an amateur couple creates in their bed room. no lighting. no porn star. its all destructive for me cause it all makes me MO. Can anyone relate to that? I feel like all of it needs to be eradicated from my life. I have always looked upon by my family as being mentally behind. scatter brained, kind of a loser and i am quite sure that MO was a big part of the reason. i feel like once i defeat this i may be a whole different person! thoughts?
