blowing stack

Hi.

It's from episode 3x03 of Boardwalk Empire (set in 1923, btw). A drunken couple (not really a couple but some kind of hookup) is inside an apartment and starts having sex. The male (who is quite the idiot) says laughingly (the conversation starts off screen):
"The Kama Sutree". (mistake in the original) It's the new thing from Egypt. You screw upside down and you don't blow your stack neither."

My first thought was that it means ejaculating, but I couldn't find any source that defines stack in that sense. I also found that there's an expression "blowing stack" that means losing your temper and becoming very angry, but I can't see how it fits here. Any thoughts?

Thanks 👁 Smile :)

My thoughts are the same as yours.

"to blow your stack/lid/top" means to explode with anger.

You definitely won't find any reference to ejaculation by investigating the word stack but you might by looking up blow stack.

I haven't read the Kama Sutra so I don't know if it advocates avoiding ejaculation. However I'm guessing that is what the man is talking about.
