Ostomy Answers; Question by Joy

O.k. I'll ask about the sex. Is there any position you have to avoid? Have you found any creative way to get around any position limitation that has turned out to be even more fun? :) ~ Joy

There are a few things about sex that are minor details. Such as, I empty my bag just before sex because a full bag is not very sexy. Plus a full bag could snap off or get in the way, and I don't want to think about having a full bag empty its contents during an intimate moment.

Positions have actually become unlimited since my pucker has been shut down. OK, that has been poorly worded, but prior to it becoming a dead end, I was having a lot of internal pain and external abscesses, so only a few positions felt comfortable. With all of that being cleared up, I'm more free ;-)

I can't speak on this from experience, but apparently men can experience some sexual dysfunction as a result of the surgeries, most involving erectile issues.

The bag does make noise during sex, an annoying rustling sound. I'm sure I could reduce or eliminate the noise by wearing a bag cover which comes in satin lace designs for intimate moments. I'm too lazy or cheap or both to acquire a bag cover. Pooky and I don't stare at my bag when I'm naked so it hasn't been an issue between us. :-)
