I married my only potential ex...
Do old issues of Penthouse count? I have a few sticky Penthouse pet centerfolds from the 80's buried somewhere.

Your old flame is thrilled to hear from you. You chat online, talk on the phone, meet for coffee. And faster than you ever imagined, everything gets out of hand and someone's marriage is ruined.
It happens a lot more often than you'd think.
"It starts with e-mails,'' says Nancy Kalish, a psychology professor at Cal State Sacramento who has studied the phenomenon. "It goes to IMs (instant messages), and the hotel room follows pretty soon afterward.''

I had one fling with an ex. I learned. It wasn't like the quote above, though.
It was more like: "Hey, I thought that was you. I liked your hair better long, but this is a good look, too. You got any plans tonight?" <insert **** music> <cut scene> "Hey, what the hell... Ow! What'd do you do that for? Hey!, whoa. I don't know where you got that idea from. That is not what I meant." <cut scene> Disgruntled, puzzled Tom alternates between scratching his head and drinking cold beer.
I move every few years just to make myself less convenient to find. I never know when one of these women is going to snap and decide to get even with the world, or exactly where I stand on the hatelist after the intial solar flare of furious anger has burned down to a hot ember. When it happens, I don't want to be the ex she sees twice a week down the block.
Maybe I'm paranoid, but I don't like the concept of anyone shooting at my peepee.

C'mon, we're not talking about people looking for an affair, just a cup of coffee with an old friend.
Contacting exes? Not interested. I have received letters from exes before, trying to find closure I guess. That was strange enough. I'd consinder doing a google search every few years, just out of boredom and curiosity, but have no interest in meeting up with the people again. Not that all my exes are horrible people, most of them aren't, but I prefer to leave the past in the past.

not if you still felt the urge to be with them post-******.

I mean more like recurring f[b]uck friends. Ending high school and into college I had a network of ladies whom I was more-than-just-friends with, but never had any real traditional realationship besides a friendship and the physical aspect. Some had "boyfriends" others were in between, etc. It all ended once I got married, I had to turn them down, or my wife wouldn't have been too happy.
I went there once.. because I could. We were both single at the time. (Verified thrice over). I like the pool to be nice and still when I jump in. I don't need someone else in the deep end!
For the other 20 other odd women, I don't want to ever go back. Heck I would fear for my life from 19 of them...
But there will always be that one person. She is married now. I am proud of that. I am proud she put her life together. After me, she got involved with the wrong guy and I saw her life going nowhere. Couldn't do anything about it. She wasn't my girlfriend. But, I cared. She finally saw the light (with 0 contact from me) and found a great guy.
Now she's married 3 kids, and from what I hear has great house / husband / job / life.
I'm proud to have known her.
But I still won't get in the pool with someone in the deep end.
