Public speaking is something that many people dread, but your time at the podium does not have to be like pulling teeth. Here are some helpful hints to make it go more pleasantly.

You can try the perennial tip and picture your audience naked. It is supposed to bring a smile to the speaker’s face and make the entire situation seem more absurd and less serious.

If picturing your audience naked does not help you relax at the podium, try having a modest amount of booze beforehand. The emphasis is on the word ’modest,’ otherwise you could render yourself unfit to speak. It could be very embarassing if your audience were able to detect that you had had a drink. You might only need to convince yourself that you are relaxed, even if the drink has not actually done anything to you. For added benefits, try having a modest amount of booze *and* picturing your audience naked.

Another good way to have a positive experience up there is to make sure you are speaking about something you care about. Alcohol and nudity, for example. Pull your enthusiasm from something heartfelt.

People often use ’the podium’ as a metaphorical stand-in for ’giving a speech at the podium,’ but a podium is also a thing unto itself. It is often hewn from wood or metal. Make sure yours is of good craftsmanship. Give it a few knocks. Flip it over and enlist a kid to help you pretend it is a rocket. Having a personal experience with the podium in a less formal setting will seep under your skin and imbue your performance. This is the central takeaway from Constantin Stanislavski’s The Method. Take the podium home with you, clutch it close, and improvise for a half an hour on a theme of podia. Just remember the relentlessness of the internet and do not improvise on a theme of podia anywhere near a digital camera.

A podium is also a roster for ice skating. Get out your clipboard, load it up with yellow foolscap, and make a podium. Reunite Kerrigan and Harding if you wish. It is your own podium.

"Picture them naked" is a common piece of advice to calm nerves during public speaking. The idea is to humanize the audience and ease anxiety by imagining them in a vulnerable state. However, it's important to remember that this technique may not work for everyone and there are other methods, like deep breathing or visualization, that can help with public speaking anxiety.

Are you gay if cocks turn you on the most on men or shemales?

The answer will depend on whether you are simply looking at imagery, fantasizing about engaging in sexual activity, or actually engaging in sex with another man or a mixed-gender person. Your sexual orientation is something you need to define for yourself rather than trying to fit yourself into a category determined for you by others. Broadly speaking, if a picture of a naked man arouses you more than a picture of a naked woman does; or if a picture of a naked woman with a penis arouses you more than a picture of naked woman without a penis, then you are most likely gay. Some gay men seek she-males, transexuals and transvestites as partners in the hope that by successfully passing as heterosexual in public they can convince themselves that what they do inprivate is sanctioned by society and so they need not feel guilty.Of course, they need not feel guilty anyway but it's a roundabout way to get there.

How speaker can overcome nervousness in a public speaking?

Picture everyone in the crowd naked. And, when that fails to work, prepare. Research and write your speech beforehand. Practice it. Then practice it again. Then practice it again, and again, and again. You need not memorize it, but be familiar enough with it that when you lose your place on your crib cards, you can coast along until you find your place again scanning through them.
