Does Buddhism teach "redirection of sexual energy"?

I am interested in skillful handling of sexual desire, as I have come to see sexuality as a great source of distraction from the Dhamma. I am aware of the Buddhist technique of contemplating the deterioration of the physical human body, and understand that the Buddha teaches discernment of thoughts, as well as other more physical measures like pressing your tongue against the roof of your mouth. Recently I have come across advice outside of Buddhism, and am uncertain about whether Buddhism supports this, or something like this. Modern spiritual spaces have a concept of transforming or redirecting sexual energy. It doesn't have a fixed definition, but advocates generally describe that sexual energy is a "life force" that can either be wasted through sexual acts or put to "creative or intellectual use". I am not interested in creative or intellectual endeavors here, instead in skillful handling of sensuality. Does Buddhism have an analogue of this new age teaching? Are monks aware of a transformable property of sexual desire?
