Having read all the literature I can find, not one document addresses this obvious question: Does the stoma remain inactive during sex? Or can you have a release at any time? I have a feeling I won't like the answer. A padded stoma cover is so comfortable and not at all intrusive, but it will not protect me from my stoma when it becomes active. It always seems to be active. Any and all answers will be read and appreciated. DLS
