If someone swears at me, or at something near me, my reaction is hardly going to be one of
decreased stress! I'm obviously not understanding you at all.

Hearing someone swear who almost never does creates an interesting emphasis on what they are saying.

With this I agree wholeheartedly. I don't get any sort of connection between this and a relaxed or inviting mood, though. On the contrary, something that leads a normally mild-mannered person to an outburst of cursing is likely to make me apprehensive and ready to flee.

I'm assuming you are one of the many people who never hire Gary Vay to speak because of his language...

Never heard of him. I still know next to nothing about him -- all the web search links I tried to follow were to video and social media sites that are blocked at my workplace. I figure that says enough about his desirability as a speaker, and I won't go pursuing it further.
