If given the chance to sleep with an old boyfriend/girlfriend would you? Under what circumstances would it be acceptable if you would? Why would you do it, other than the fabulous sex?

I think the more pertinent question here is, would you?

Oh, I'd tell him I would. And then I'd get him all hot and bothered, and then I'd tell him what an asshole he is and how bad he was in bed, and I'd leave him cold. ha ha. it's been three years, really, and I'm dating the love of my love, and how bitter do I sound? wow.

Of course. When I was 16 I had an affair with an older man and I'm totally desensitized to sex. There's a very DISTINCT difference between sex and love and cuddling and just being loving.

The bastard took that all away from me!

... reminds me of the jerry springer women whose reply to jerry's "debbie lou, did you have sex with your uncle tom?" inquiries: "no. he had sex with me."

I think it's a crap idea, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't do it. It would depend a lot on where we both were relationship-wise at the time - I'd be very unlikely to do it if he was seeing someone else and I wouldn't do it at all if I was.

I find a good portion of my exes very alluring -- I tend to be on pretty good terms with most of them, and if I liked them once upon a tmie, there must have been a reason, right? I have slept with an ex, many years after we were broken up. And I certainly enjoyed it, although it may not have been the best decision.

Obviously it's crossed my mind. Of course, there are some that I would never go back to and there are others that... well, I would. I'm not sure what the circumstances would have to be only because it would be different for each one. Some ex's are worth all the trouble because of their prowess in bed; others aren't worth five minutes of my time.

Utimately, I could never do it as revenge though, but I've come close on more than one occassion. Damn guilty conscience I guess.

Please excuse any spelling mistakes -- not really in the mood to check behind myself.

Well, well.

I should hope you would have the good sense to not try anything with any of your ex-boyfriends. Particularly one. Since everybody knows who you are.

Because there's a certain somebody who runs this website who is dating a certain ex-boyfriend of a certain forum question poster (YOU), who she also happens to live with.

And the readers of this certain somebody tend to be very protective. And we were all somewhat shocked when the certain somebody posted an entry saying she was going to be living with her boyfriend's ex-girlfriend. But we figured that if she trusted you, then we would, too.

Don't hurt her. And that goes for the certain ex-boyfriend of yours, too.

Umm... anyone else find that last posting rather...um... creepy and ...um borderline psychotic... or was it just me?

As for me I'd never sleep with an ex cause I know what they've been sleeping with since we've parted and I don't want to get near anything that had *THAT* up inside them... eww... Ewww... EWWW... yick....

Actually J. Le., it sounds to me like the above mentioned person is getting defensive because they want Eric all to him/herself.

Drama. Yawn.

I’m concerned, because I have no idea where anyone would get the idea that I want something to do with Eric. Quite the opposite. After a recent event I want nothing to do with him – ever again. And before the recent event I wanted nothing to do with him in a romantic or sexual relationship way.

I guess I could explain that the incident where I came close was five years ago and pre-Eric, but I’m not sure you really care since you have this one idea from goodness knows where stuck in your head.

Or maybe I could explain that I just finished reading some Glamour poll and wanted to know how Katie's readers felt?

Or maybe I could explain that I was bored that day at work when I posted that question. And that I posted anonymously, because I knew someone would get the wrong idea. I knew someone would just jump at the chance to think something is going on. I was right, horribly right.

As far as hurting Katie goes.... Well, I won’t do it. Not like that. Maybe that’s what you want from me. Maybe you’re trying to provoke me, but despite current circumstances I won’t do that. Why should I stoop so low? Where would it get me? No thanks. I drove a freakin’ 15 hours to bring her to Virginia, because she knew that that was best for her. And so now people believe that I’m out to hurt her. Typically I’m not so naive, but I obviously made a mistake to hold faith in people (a recent trend I don’t care to mention).

Maybe you’ve mistaken me for someone else. Either which way a horrible mistake has been made. I could say thanks for the vote of confidence, but somehow I don't think that's necessary.

Read this post how you want. You have your beliefs and you should keep them and if you really believe that I'm that horrible of a person, then I don't need you in my life.

Signed truthfully,

It's the Jerry Springer potential. It's always been there, and maybe people are just dying to see that potential turn into a reality. I mean, wouldn't that be classic? You, "The Ex" (I'm using quotes for a reason, so don't go saying I'm calling you that) drive fifteen hours, pick me up, let me live with you. That's "weird" enough. Then, suddenly, five months later, you start wanting Eric. And you act on it. And I find out about it. And we get into this huge melodrama.

Readers love melodrama.

Stay away from mah man, you bitchass ho. Or I fittin to hit choo wit a chair...

Dude, we should turn the webcam into a Springer Cam.

Yeah. Ever think that Treva is just trying to cover her backstabbing ass?

Oh, and what's with the "As far as hurting Katie goes.... Well, I won't do it. Not like that." So you would hurt her, just not like that. I bet that's real re-assuring, huh Katie.

Wow. This is some fucked up shit. "Wellwell" person, watch what you say. You shouldn't even talk if you can't say who you are. or is your name coward. Anyways. Stay out of shit that has nothing to do with you. Cuz if you don't, I won't, and then words will ensue (might be mispelled.) :)
