Very interesting, thoughtful and helpful. My partner has an o stony op and finds, because of the placement, difficult to wear trousers other than loose fitting tracksuit pants, also big enough tshirts and ones that are extra long.

There are apparently corset producers that make corsets with ostomies in mind! They cut a hole to provide access to your luggage. Because they are bespoke products, the corset maker must meet with you to take measurements. You won't find them off the shelf, and most of them aren't suitable for you anyhow because they aren't created to fit your specific physique. Sex therapy is a subset of psychotherapy, which is a wide word for treating mental health difficulties with the help of a mental health professional.

JH why do you irrigate? my colostomy is pretty thick, most of my output comes out in morning as it once did. how about using milk of magnesia once a week? I've read about using MOM but have never tried it. irrigating seems way to time consumming for me. takes me longer to pee than empty bag. if you then rise the bag it feels like a new empty bag. you shouldn't smell crap with a good new bag.

robert were you the one who had no luck with viagra?

robert, lets be frank here.

recently a girl told me, what I can't finish, she would. also you could incorporate sex toys in the play, gay girls apparently use strap-ons with their partners. or other battery toys.

read up on building up testosterone levels. my hardness level has dropped recently to what I recall the 3rd round of sex when i was younger. I'm thinking the softness is possibly coming from the lack of skate skiing I've been doing. strenuous exercise appaerently plays a roll in testosterone levels, so I need to get back to the 30-50 kilometers i was skiing per week earlier this season. i find sexual interest, no interest goes in cycles.

Hi Robert, Yes explore every medical option, Plus when you really look at any relationship sex is a very small part. Also any relationship based only around sex never really lasts.

Robert, it's unfortunate that your medical team wasn't more forthcoming with the risks of impotency.

Have you been able to speak with a urologist to see what surgical/medical devices you have as options?

Don't give up on dating! Intimacy is only one part of a relationship (with sex being a small part of intimacy), so you DO still have a lot to offer in the meantime.

I believe commented on another of your sites, Eric. My colostomy surgery resulted in almost complete impotency. Of course prior to my surgery it seemed like my medical team (surgeon, WOCN, physician) purposely downplayed the risk of impotency. Now when I say "almost complete impotence", I do get the occasional, very weak and useless erection. And I haven't had real sex since. I tried dating a coupe of times, but both times the women broke it off with me after feeble attempts at sex. I'd like to start dating (and have a sex life) again, and I feel like I have a lot to give, but let's face the cold truth. it ain't gonna happen until this issue gets fixed.

Sounds like there's still something going on, but I know it's expensive to continue with tests. I've known a few people who were told that nothing is wrong, but they continued to feel terrible all the time. One friend was persistent and traveled across the country until a solution came up - now he's healthier than ever.

Thanks for your reply. My only real health issue is the ostomy. Before the ostomy I was going to the bathroom 15x per day, but was actually very healthy and fit. Now I'm half dead. I've already paid $18K (US) for surgery, tests, WOCNs, etc. It's been 5 years of this. I'm just screwed.
