Napoleon Hill wrote a famous section in his classic work Think and Grow Rich called “Sexual Transfiguration.” Hill noticed and theorized that extremely successful men also had extremely high sex drives.

Often they would abstain from sex or masturbation for long periods of time and would, therefore, feel more energized.
