You can sublimate the energy generated by the force 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 and fantasies.

Knowledge of the stages of psychosexual development of the child and his leading activities

Step 1
Due to the fact that both of these drives are inherent in a small child, sublimation begins to work from an early age. Those types of activity in which the child directs his energy should give him no less pleasure than fantasizing. But if with the help of aggression or sexual action you can quickly achieve pleasure, then in other species it will take more effort and time to achieve the same feeling. The child begins to draw, sculpt. The sublimation of energy through drawing can be fixed 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 colors of the image.
Step 2
In adolescence, the 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.
Step 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 is more suitable for them due to the peculiarities of physical or intellectual development.
Step 4
Many teenagers are independently looking for a way and form to sublimate their energy. Sometimes they do not linger for a long time in one section or another and move to another until their energy finds an adequate expression in the corresponding type of activity.
Step 5
In adolescence, the best way to sublimate energy is through labor. The work itself and the reward for it are enjoyable. The whole body is involved in work. Labor is not only physical activity, but also the expression of one's desires, which cannot be realized. For example, if a child enjoys aggression, he should be advised exactly those specialties that will be partially associated with the realization of this drive. For example, a surgeon: it is almost impossible to cut a human body or pull out a tooth without pleasure. By acquiring such a specialty, a young person sublimates his attraction and directs his energy into socially significant activities.
Step 6
Adults are less likely to have to sublimate sexual energy, as they have the opportunity to realize their dreams and fantasies with a loved one. Older people sublimate energy through the need to grow fruit in the garden or vegetable garden. The reproductive function is manifested in the transfer to plants, because children no longer need to be raised.
