Gay Sex Question

[Leofric]

I have just recieved my iliostomy and am really grateful to have found this website.

As part of my operation my rectum was removed and a rectal pouch has been created. My question is about the rectal pouch.

Excuse me if this question is a little frank.

Will this have any effect on passive anal intercourse, or am I finished in that department?

Welcome to the board Dxx

I think this is something you should ask your doctor about. This probably isn't the answer you wanted to hear, but is the only way to approach it.

Good Luck,
Sean

Hi There,

To be honest my initial reaction is that it wouldnt be a good idea to have anal sex after having a pouch operation because of the weakness of the pouch, internal wounds and so on inside. But the only person who can really give you the authorative answer is your Surgeon - I'd hate to give you the wrong advice with a question like this, be it me saying its ok and you hurting yourself, or me saying its not ok and then ten years alter you find out it has been ok all the time.

If you are worried about talking to the Surgeon about it you could try phoning the support lines for the Pouch Groups to see what advice they have for you.

Take care, and hope you soon get an authorative answer to your question.

Buh bye now,

Hi Leo!! Glad you asked. I have a colostomy and they left my rectum in tact. I am not familiar with an anal pouch. But when I had the surgery I was very frank about asking my doctor if anal sex was OK...luckily for me he said it was. But as yours' is a pouch I would ask your surgeon. This does NOT have to be a big discussion on morals with the doctor, just a simple "Is it safe for me to have anal sex?" should do it. As we are all unfamiliar with the anal pouch can you explain a bit more about it and also let us know what the surgeoun says?
Glad you're here......Nathan
