Other than jorking it? Hobbies. It's crazy the shit you'll make when you're fueled by lust and channel that in to something.
Also as someone who gets suspicious of the self help industrial complex it's not a bad motivator for doing initial self improvement measures. Much of the societal mandate to grow is based on us perceiving ourselves as "not enough" and I think "I'm horny" is actually a way better reason to pick up a new skill or try to build muscle. As long as you know that doesn't actually lead to sex but do it anyway.
How do you channel hornyness into something that isn't sexual?
For me I did things that were physically active. I might just be weird but I think since we evolved to be hunter gatherers our bodies probably equate most physical exercise to libido on some level. Like, if you run really hard and use your hand-eye coordination then Grug will let you smash.
I've heard creatives describe their work as libidinous too though, but in more abstract ways like using art to capture the sensuality of something like the ocean. I can't attest to that personally but I definitely can feel it in music composition.
Learn to play the flute?
