Do something physical to distract yourself, like go to the gym, or play a musical instrument, or write a book, etc. anything that draws your mind into something else. Back in the 80s, my Dad quit smoking with a Rubik’s Cube, picking it up whenever he had a craving.
Picking up a musical instrument, working on a book chapter, studying a language, etc., all require deep focus and concentration, and will push the temptations from your mind.
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.
