Living with a Colostomy Bag and Maintaining Intimacy

This topic is about navigating dating and intimacy when you have a colostomy, especially after dealing with cancer. It highlights that having a colostomy doesn't have to be a barrier to forming or maintaining romantic relationships. Here are some insights and advice shared by others:

1. One person shared their experience of starting to date someone new, and they found that the colostomy bag was not an issue, even during intimate moments. This shows that living with a colostomy doesn't prevent you from having a fulfilling romantic life.

2. Initially, the person felt negative about the idea of dating with a stoma, but their positive experience changed their perspective.

3. Many people in similar situations confirm that a colostomy does not inherently hinder relationships or intimacy. They find that most people are understanding and accepting once they know the situation.

4. There is a strong encouragement from others to stay positive and open to possibilities. The sentiment is that "nothing is impossible" when it comes to finding companionship with a stoma.
