Sexual Positions Following an Ostomy
If you’d prefer that your partner not directly see your stoma and pouch, you can assume sexual positions to minimize a direct view. If you were used to certain positions previously, you may want to be flexible and consider others that are comfortable as you begin having sex again.
Spoon Position
In the spoon position, the woman lies on her side with her partner curled against her back. If the man has the ostomy, as long as the pouch is empty, sex should be comfortable in this position.
Standing Position
The standing position can be comfortable for either a woman or man with an ostomy. The woman can lean on something firm, such as a chair, with her partner behind her.
