This topic is about how individuals with ostomies, particularly those who are bisexual and involved in the swinging lifestyle, navigate their experiences and maintain confidence. The discussion is centered around sharing advice and insights for those in similar situations.
- The person who started the conversation, along with his wife, has been active in the swinging community and wants to reassure others that having an ostomy doesn't mean you have to stop swinging or engaging in bisexual activities. He encourages others to share their experiences or ask questions.
- Many people showed interest in the topic but admitted they don't have much experience. They are looking for practical advice from those who have been through similar situations.
- One member, whose partner has an ileostomy, shared that rebuilding confidence after surgery is possible. They still have a strong sex drive, but the partner with the ostomy feels a bit anxious about being fully nude in swinger settings. They are looking for clubs that are welcoming to ostomates and are interested in hearing about others' experiences.
- There is a general feeling in the community that a swinger club specifically for ostomates would be a great idea, although no such place has been found yet.
- It's common for people to feel anxious about their body image and being exposed. However, having mutual support and open communication with partners can be very helpful in regaining confidence and exploring sexuality after surgery.
