"I'm new on the job and got tapped to do a presentation for work. I was so nervous my pits were sweating and my hands were shaking. A coworker told me to go pound one out before I had a stroke that it would help calm me down. What if someone came in and he said it wouldn't matter because they'd all been there and done that. I wonder if he was telling me to do it so he could catch me and make fun of me. Can doing that really help?"

I covered this before, some many moons ago.
While I can't say if your colleague was hoping to catch you in order to be able to tease you, I can say that, yes, jacking off would have helped calm you down. Orgasms and ejaculations can reduce anxiety.
That's not just some nonsense guys use as an excuse. Science is there to back it up.
According to AtlasBloomed and VeryWellHealth, when you cum, the brain releases chemicals. Among them are:

Informative (even if I suspected it a little) and thank you also for the remarkable illustrations.
Hugs and bisous, my darlings Jean and Pat.
Have a wondrous day
Oh yeah... It's true. Jacking off does calm you down. I do it for that very reason...and also to release "hornies" as I call them...before going on a date so I don't appear to be wound tight or sex crazed.
Well, duh.
Not something that would come to mind in that kind of situation, but yes. Men jerk off for the most inane reasons. I have a friend who jumps into Chaturbate cause he's bored. Go figure.
XOXO
Makes sense to me.
Dear reader,
I totally relate to the nervousness you felt speaking before a colleagues audience at work. I too have been there - long ago - and felt quite the same, though for me it was my voice that got into a higher pitch as my throat tightened during my speech, LoL.
First of all: it doesn't last. Unless you are born totally shy, It'll get way much better the next time you are to speak in front of whatever audience, including your company's management.
Secondly: the trick lies in your imagination. Whenever you feel impressed by anyone you have to talk to, imagine them dressed up in a rather ridiculous way. I remember having to explain my views to my former CEO, a true bully, whom I knew had opposite ways of thinking. I remained serene all along just by imagining that asshole wearing fishnet tights and high heels. Believe me, it worked like a charm. Even now, when someone at work tries to impress me I "put" bunny ears upon their head. Try it, you'll see :-)
Finally: your colleague's advice - whatever his reasons - is a good one. Like Pat explained, cuming releases dopamine which definitely helps relaxing and therefore feeling more comfortable at facing a new situation. If jerking in a stall at work isn't your thing (I know it's not mine), just use your own way to release the pressure. I once printed the picture of someone I despised, scotched it on a wall and punched it hard, it really hurt my wrist but shit how I felt relieved.
Anyway, the idea is that you have it in you to ease yourself from whatever you think that other people will think of you. Whatever it is you have to present/explain to them: you are the one in charge and they're the one who get to learn from you.
We need to stop making a big deal out of jacking off. My Dad taught me it isn't shameful or disgraceful. We did it in front of each other without any problem. And it DOES relax a man. I did have a bit of trouble adjusting to dorm life. Even in the wild and crazy 60s, jacking the ol' cock in public was not acceptable.
Mother Nature: Let's see what could I use for fun, relaxation and just feel good all over that EVERYONE will want to do over and over AND NEVER GET TIRED?? Bingo. Hugs and Bisous to Mother who knows all.
I use masturbation if I can't sleep, and I have to say it works perfectly.
I agree with the others, it can help. I have never done it in this situation, but I have done it the morning of. I think something he hasn't thought of is that his co-worker might have wanted to SEE him do it versus make fun of him. I would have said, well then you could come and join me lol. Also, something to keep in mind, if you are like me, is that I leak after for a while. Make sure you put something in your underwear to catch that. Cum stains don't disappear when they dry like pee stains!
@ Maddie - Jacking off before a date also helps you last longer if things do get going.
@ Laurent - Those are all excellent ways of tricking the brain to speak in front of a crowd - no matter how large or small. I used to imagine them all sitting there naked. The Toastmasters chapters (all over the US) teach people public speaking. It works wonders!
@ Gay Dad - Funny you should mention leaking afterward. I think it happens to a lot of guys. A folded up paper towel helps tucked into the briefs at the head of the cock absorbs it.
Some guys find it hard to get an erection immediately after ejaculating. So that advice to masturbate ahead of time may work if you are worried about getting a spontaneous erection while speaking in public.
