Sex with a Colostomy - Seeking Advice

Topic Explanation
The forum topic is about seeking advice on having sex with a colostomy. The original poster had a permanent colostomy surgery and is nervous about having sex due to concerns about the pouch being in the way or a turn off to someone.

Advice and Insights
- Consider using a wrap or cover-up, such as a tummy sleeve from a maternity shop, to address concerns about the pouch being in the way during intimacy.
- Find someone who also has an ostomy, as it can lead to a comfortable and understanding relationship.
- Some partners may not be bothered by the ostomy and may even prefer the person to be comfortable with their body as it is.
- It's worth taking a chance to find someone who is understanding and supportive, as there are good men who would be honored to be with a woman with an ostomy.
- Confidence can be gained by using wraps or cover belts, and after a while, both partners may become comfortable enough to not feel the need to hide the ostomy during intimacy.
- Experimenting with sex toys, such as vibrators, alone can help in finding comfortable positions for oneself before engaging in sexual activities with a partner.
