Does anyone do this? I've got all sorts of pictures and videos and just various items that I've kept from various past lovers that I like to look at and reminisce every now and then. I guess it's kind of like a trophy case.

Define "various items"?
I keep pics, don't have any videos. I keep useful items and no teddy bears and other in the way stuff.
I had a former girlfriend who reached out to me on Facebook after, get this, 33 years. And she STILL had some of my stuff. She had kept it through two marriages and a house fire. Part of me was flattered and part of me was a little creeped out.

It could be anything really. Anything that can bring back a memory. Like a pair of undies. A shirt. Maybe something they gave you for Christmas. A sexual video you made together. Sexual pictures they sent you via text. Anything that recalls certain memories.

Wow. 33 years. That's amazing. That means she still cherishes whatever memories you had together. I know that in my case. Whenever I look at something from a past lover. The memories just come flooding back and I remember the origins of that item. It's good to look back sometimes. I'm sure I'll still have these things 33 years from now. Maybe I'll be able to add more along the way.

I would not keep personal stuff like underwear I cannot use. Shirt only if I wear it.
Sex video I cannot say anything about that since I would never voluntarily make one. I wouldn't wanna break up with a person and wonder where that tape is.
I just recently deleted some dck pics of my computer from a FWB from 3 years ago. I find it the ethical thing to do. I keep regular pics of exes though and I would delete pics of him on social media if there were any. Out of consideration for new partners on either side.
I kept the Ipod I got from my ex. I put a sticker over the engraved part.

I have some things ex jewelery, a stuffed animal and some small gifts. I use to have a bunch of cards and photos, but I think my husband found them and tossed them lol. I had a photo album and in it there were a couple pictures with us together in them and one day I was looking at the book and all the photos with him in them were missing. I was mad because I was also in them and actually liked the way I looked in the pictures. He was given a talk about respecting other people's property. Then I hide the rest of the really juicy stuff ... but I could never find it again so there is a 50-50 chance he found it and tossed it too. He claims to know nothing about this though .
I can understand why he would not want it around. If I where him I was in his shoes I would probably be jealous too. I think his response was well you are married to me so no one else before should matter, which is actually true.
I don't know if anyone else can speak to this.. but once I got married none of my male freinds would talk to me to anymore. I actually think it was more of a respect thing ex watch your conduct with another man's wife. There is one guy in particular which I was almost best freinds with for a while, but once he found out I was getting married not a call or e-mail or a response to a hi how are you type e-mail. I have some cards he gave me too .
After my childrens' mother and I divorced, compliments of her leaving me for someone else, I kept a few family pictures to place in a bedroom I furnished for visits from the minor children because they were something familiar to them. However, when I remarried I gave all those pictures to the children keeping only pictures of them.
If I wanted souvenirs, which I didn't, I could always call upon my memories which, but for the children, I choose not to.
Yes, but it mostly depends what it is and who it is from.
There's been very, very few men I'm actually sentimental about in regard to "things".. but yes, there are things I've kept and cannot bear to part with.. (pictures, letters, cards jewelry, articles of his clothing ..etc. ) He told me he saved everything I've ever written him- even sent me pics of love letters and drawings I gave him.... . . .long, long ago.
I have kept things from other guys I don't give af about anymore that are still useful, but I have no emotional attachment to. ~ Like a cozy blanket, books, cds, a hookah pipe, an ipod, a pair of really nice headphones- you know, just general "stuff" like that.. Lol
