Okay, I’ve been thinking about starting this thread for a while, now. The following quote, from one of the very hot ladies here, in this thread prompted me to finally do so. Now that I think of it, it was another of her posts, in one of my threads, that got me started thinking about it, in the first place. 
And, despite what some of you are undoubtedly thinking, I have never asked a woman for such a souvenir. But, I have, nevertheless, acquired rather a collection of just such souvenirs.
If memory serves, and it will have to, because I’m not getting up to go dig them out, I have six pairs of panties tucked into a black velour bag, which is somewhere in a trunk. Each pair was a gift from a different woman. As I said, I never asked for any of them, but I certainly couldn’t reject such a personal gift. I admit, I find it both touching and flattering that a woman would want to give me such a thing, even if I’m not quite sure I understand it.
I’ve even received two pairs, by mail, from women I never even met. They were women I had online relationships with and, in one case, even a phone relationship. But, while I would have liked to have met them, I never did. In some ways, I find that even more touching (and flattering). In some ways, it just seems stranger.
And, yes, I will admit that I did sniff each and every one. And, they all smelled different. Two were fresh out of the laundry, as I recall. The others had been worn. One had been worn while the lady indulged in phone sex with me. That pair was, by far, the most potent of the bunch.
I almost never take them out. I’ve lost touch with all those ladies, I’m sad to say. But, I can’t bring myself to throw out their little gifts. They clearly meant a lot to the ladies, and they’ve come to mean a lot to me, because of that. And, once in a while, I’ll run across the bag, while looking for something else in that trunk. And, it will bring me lots of fun, fond memories, as did simply thinking about this.
So, anyone else have a souvenir panty collection? Any of you ladies ever contributed to one? If so, can you explain the symbology? Any relevant thoughts, anecdotes, or jokes to contribute?
Somehow, that’s a whole different level of kinkiness.
