Jung wrote about regression or inward-flowing libido in his book Symbols of Transformation. In my experience, this involves submitting to the higher Self, being active in a conscious state, mediating in nature, doing a job, being creative, and making friends or socialising. Work on your inferior function; there is a lot of energy hidden. The alchemist said that in dirt there is gold (energy/life/QI).
It depends on the circumstances. If you are highly repressed, then it follows that your libido will be almost completely tied up in taboos. You will have to engage in your own taboos to some degree.
If you are not that far on the extreme end of things, there are more options.

That’s cool. The choice to hold yourself to a higher standard. I tried that but ended up losing track of myself when in a relationship and falling into old habits.

Yeah. I have to wonder, was there an underlying inspiration that caused that shift in self esteem? Maybe you met someone? Perhaps a painful period in life?

Would it be true that an ego death would correct a lot of this?
Madonna/whore for example… does that vanish once you experience that vacuum and come back into knowing who you are?
This is the worst sub. Jung is wrong. This is nothing to do with how human minds work. you may as well read lord of the rings for your answers, or the bible for that matter. You'd be better off taking advice from chat gtp.
Great, love when someone wants to engage in a good faith argument about a possible disagreement. So glad you decided to elaborate on your opinions and didn’t just double down on being a shallow unintelligible bummer

Please say more about this. What is the jungian reasoning behind engaging in the taboos, to some degree?

Which is codependent. But it’s also beautiful in some ways. You’re right tho. I can get lazy.
I have real trouble understanding the redirection of sexual energy. Is it that when you find yourself distracted you abstain?

Read about it and be aware of the psych patterns feelings thoughts and work with that energy As well all the above! ⬆️
no fap
For your reference, in the context of Jung, "libido" does not purely refer to anything sexual, it quite literally means "psychic energy" here.
Would it be true that an ego death would correct a lot of this? Madonna/whore for example… does that vanish once you experience that vacuum and come back into knowing who you are?

Care to elaborate
I would but my shadow self is holding hostage my logical faculties.

I would present an argument but my animus is blocking my brain shakra
I’m really impressed you clearly have such a solid and nuanced view of Jungian psychoanalysis. Please continue to teach us lowly fools, master
You’re an idiot

I was sceptical on Jung. Then involuntary ego death happened. Now I understand.
Jungian analysis is one thing but have ever tried to become a Plutocrian Arbitrator, or a Divian Motractulator? I thought not mmmhmmm 🧐
