You never heard of sublimation?

Recall our discussion of Michelangelo. Whatever the correct description of his sexual preferences, there is reasonable evidence that he was near-abstinent, and we are all the beneficiaries.

(I'm not saying that sublimation is necessary for creativity. Raphael sure as heck didn't sublimate, for example, and his legacy is not risible.)
