An ostomy is a surgically created opening in the abdomen (a stoma) that allows bodily waste to be rerouted into an ostomy bag, which is then emptied periodically. It may be necessary for different reasons, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), cancer, diverticulitis, or another medical condition.[1]Although it changes everyday life in terms of how you deal with urine and stool, that’s not the only shift. Sex and intimacy with an ostomy bag can come with challenges.”In this situation, you can have profound physical and emotional effects when it comes to intimacy,” says Jamin Vinod Brahmbhatt, MD, a urologist and surgeon…

When I was a kid, I didn’t know people put butter and syrup on French toast. In my family, we always sprinkled it with cinnamon and sugar. I don’t recall when I learned that people topped French toast with the same thing they top pancakes with. I do know that at some point, I realized that I didn’t have to go through all the steps of making pancakes to get a syrup fix.

We may earn a commission from links on this page. A friend of mine used to say that the first question we ask when we’re introduced to a new piece of technology is, “How can I use this to have sex?” To that end, here’s how to use a Meta Quest 3, Quest 3S, Quest 2, Apple Vision Pro, PSVR, Vive, or other VR headset to have sex…or watch virtual porn, anyway.(If you’re wondering what else you can do with your Quest 3 or 3S, here’s a guide to the must-have apps for both.)It’s almost comically easy to have an…
