I am particularly interested in what men have to say on this subject. I am a woman who is still very much interested in sex. It is kind of embarrassing with an ostomy.

I bought some nice covers, but I still feel unsexy. Is a woman who has an ostomy still attractive if there is chemistry... I mean mental and emotional?

Thank you for your feedback.

Well, what the hell? Been a long time since I jumped in, so I might as well now.
Guys are of a much different mindset about such things. Reminds me of the cartoon where a machine bolt (depicting a male) is chasing a machine nut (depicting a female), and the machine nut is running away and shouting, "Not without a washer!" I know some of you guys remember that cartoon.
Of course, a woman is still attractive, even with a pouch. In the first place, the initial appeal starts with the face. A woman with an attractive face is going to draw attention. Not necessarily beautiful, but attractive. Then after the initial encounter, other factors are noticed, such as wit, ability to converse, honesty, posture, a whole gamut of eye and ear and smell, and yes, might as well toss in taste as well. That pretty well covers all 5 senses, all of which form the attraction, which leads to the relationship and finally to the ultimate act of the relationship.
So to answer your question, my lady, if you maintain yourself so as to be pleasing to all five of a man's senses, yes, you will be attractive, mentally and emotionally. I know that I could be attracted, were I looking. The bag need not be an end, only a slight detour.

Well, step one, Get a good photo of yourself on your profile. Yours is too dark. So, a good head shot and a ten footer(photo of you 10 ft. or less, full body). Stand relaxed like you were greeting a friend. It should all go pretty well from there.

Was on several dating sites! No problem with getting dates that would accept my colostomy! Have one living with me now! You see, most people our age have health issues also! Am very sensual. Good luck! If you've got specific questions, holler back! Steve
