Here is my unprofessional take on this issue.
I have ridden numerous geldings over the years.  One was gelded at 2, never 
serviced a mare, and did not act studdy.  One we raised was gelded at 13 
months and acts very studdy.  He could...and would...mount and penetrate a 
mare, even though he is a gelding.  One I bought was not gelded until 
several years old (he is 10 now) and after he sired several foals.  He is 
not studdy at all.  I think it must depend on the individual.
