RW, I really don't think we are disagreeing. But there is a misunderstanding in that I am saying that without a good sex drive, I doubt the male, or the female, for that matter, would have the motivation to be successful.
For both genders, by being creative in achieving that success, I believe that force is in itself the sex drive.
Perhaps "sublimate" is confusing the issue.
You mentioned motivation. Motivation has little to do with it, in my book, although there certainly can be motivation, ie: to provide for one's family, or it can be to shore up one's ego; and again a keen-ness for competition, etc., etc..
As a male, I find this to be totally untrue. There is just no connection between my sex drive and my creativity (not to brag but I have a lot of both). They are wholly, entirely unrelated. I only WISH I could harness my sexuality for creative purposes but it just doesn't work that way -- it's only good for one thing.
Maybe it's different for women.
