Still, Freud was onto something with his energy model of the self. Energy is an essential element in explaining the liaisons at artists’ colonies. Restraining sexual impulses takes energy, and so does creative work. If you pour energy into your art, you have less available to restrain your libido. Freud had been a bit vague about where this energy came from and how it operated, but at least he had assigned it an important place in his theory of self.
Replace artists' colonies with Olympic Village and it makes sense.
