Libidinal energy

Sigmund Freud, which is considered the originator of the modern use of the term,[4] defined libido as "the energy, regarded as a quantitative magnitude... of those instincts which have to do with all that may be comprised under the word 'love'."[5]
in The Magical Revival, Kenneth Grant warns against “perverted” sex, in Freud’s sense:
"Objurations against masturbation, onanism, coitus interruptus, karezza and other apparently sterile methods of using sexual energy, follow logically upon awareness of the sacramental nature. … none of the energy is lost, though it fails to find a field of operation in the matrix which nature has provided for it. It breeds, instead of physical offspring, phantoms composed of tenuous matter. Through the deliberate and persistent practice of such abuses, qliphotic entities are engendered; they prey upon the mind and feed upon the nervous fluid."
Lyotard exposes the libidinal complements to monetary exchange and the economy. [Chukhrov]
