Ostomates and NSFW Selfies: Experiences?

This topic is about how people with ostomies feel about their bodies, especially when it comes to sharing nude or not-safe-for-work (NSFW) selfies. It explores how they manage their body confidence and the visibility of their ostomy pouches in such situations. Here are some insights and advice shared by others:

1. Many people feel more comfortable sharing partial nudes without showing their face, as it feels safer. Full-body images are often avoided online.

2. Those who have lived with an ostomy for a long time often find that they gain confidence over time. They also discover that their partners usually care much less about the pouch than they initially feared.

3. When sharing nudes, it's common to conceal the ostomy pouch by cropping the photo or using strategic covering.

4. Open communication with a partner is key. Regularly checking in with each other helps maintain comfort and intimacy.

5. Concerns about body image, such as weight, scars, or aging skin, can sometimes be more significant than worries about the pouch. Embracing self-acceptance is an important first step.

6. Returning to public nudity, like visiting a nude beach, after surgery can be daunting. Taking small steps at home can help rebuild confidence before venturing into communal nude settings.
