I have a colostomy and also a hysterectomy due to cancer 11 yrs ago. I don't really care about sex anymore, but am still interested in other intimacy. My partner of 23 yrs died 2 yrs ago.She didn't care about any of it because she loved me so much. I'm also past 70. I don't want any body contact that involves the ostomy area with anyone else. With my long term partner, I just wore underwear. Do you think I can find someone for an intimate friendship without sex or am I dreaming?

hello Paula intimacy has layers and for many sex is not a priority or necessity in later life... i believe you can find what you are seeking

Have you heard of ostomy wraps ???

They are like a boob tube for your abdomen ..,as this video shows .. they look very sexy and feminine . Also simple and inexpensive to make if you come across any fabric you like .. can be worn with or or without underwear . Lycra cameo tops can be cut into a band and overseen with lace or satin ... whatever your personal taste is ... something you could have fun experimenting with .
