Interesting. And what you said with the emotional center, that makes sense now.I see what you're saying. In tantric practice, the main thing that blocks sexual energy from being transformed to the rest of the body is the emotional center... what one might call the solar plexus / 3rd chakra (they don't use chakras in tantra though). It's worse for men because they tend to be more emotionally blocked. So when they are told not to ejaculate for an extended feeling or time and they try to do tantric practice, it's more difficult to get the energy to rise and disperse through the whole body. Instead, he gets stuck somewhere in the middle of the body, which manifests as anger, frustration, etc.
Women have this problem too but it's not as severe because of the way their essence translates to vitality. Women don't lose essence through orgasm, they lose it through menstruation. Whereas men usually ejaculate when they orgasm (the two things are separate but in the untrained occur simultaneously), so they lose essence every time.
And thanks for the clue to Saturn Return years. It put a nice perspective on things.
