A fetish is anything that satifies a need for gratification. It can be sexual, emotioal, religious. political, social, or my favorite Chocolate!!!!

@Peterbilt1955 are you confusing obsessions with fetishes?
One and the same.
Actually that is incorrect. Obsession is mental . Fetish is a physical need.

Depends on the context. A fetish can be religious as well as sexual but most people mean the sexual one.

Maybe this is gatekeeping but I don't consider it a fetish unless you CANNOT orgasm without at least thinking of the fetish on the way.

I have a fetish. I wish I could get rid of it.

@MrBlueGuy yes I agree 🙁
helenS · 36-40, F
@MrBlueGuy The point is that many many people [i]have[/i] similar fetishes. Unfortunately, too many are afraid to admit. Similar to gay people, a century ago.
@helenS Very true you have probably millions of people suffering thinking they are alone and there could be someone 3 doors down thinking the same thing.
a strong sexual attraction to something that cannot be switched off.
LindaM · 61-69, F
@GlueGun always relates to sex?
littlepinklotus · 41-45, F
@LindaM no
Fernie · F
@LindaM There's a second kind of fetish I found...


an inanimate object worshiped for its supposed magical powers or because it is considered to be inhabited by a spirit.

A requirement that someone needs to reach sexual fulfillment. Could be clothes, fabric, a situation (place).
LindaM · 61-69, F
@HerKingI see

I don’t know @LindaM
helenS · 36-40, F
A fetish is an object that is believed to have power over people.
LindaM · 61-69, F
@helenS wow really
helenS · 36-40, F
@LindaM Yes — your question was what exactly a fetish is, and that's the exact definition. A [i]sexual[/i] fetish might be a shoe, for example. Exhibitionism is [i]not[/i] a fetish.
LindaM · 61-69, F
@helenS oh how come
Gentlemickey · 70-79, M
I think fetish is used to often in place of love, like, or desire. Just because you like an occasional spanking, or you love oral sex, or you desire to wear a nappie to bed does not make it a fetish. I love to dress in ladies clothes...I can do it or not do it as my free will allows me.. I choose to do dress up at the appropriate time and I enjoy it. Most people say I have a fetish... I'm think I have a natural desire !!
CharlieZ · 70-79, M
Some erotic stuff you were already doing without knowing they were "fetish".
Perhaps the main differences are:
- Not everybody is obsessed with same fantasies once and again, even if they are part of their sexual repertoire.
- Not all need to give those same actions a "theatrical" Mise-en-scène to do them.
LindaM · 61-69, F
@CharlieZ oh ok thank you :)
CharlieZ · 70-79, M
@LindaM I KNOW that people that are affine with a fetish will desagree with me.
Take my words as a personal view only.
Focused · 31-35, M
Things that are often considered taboo in nature?
LindaM · 61-69, F
@Focused oh ok makes sense
LindaM · 61-69, F
I don't have s fetish lol
Gentlemickey · 70-79, M
@LindaM I agree with you. I don't have a fetish just because I like different ways of being romantic, or different ways of making love, or even different ways of dressing... I just have a simple desire to do different things with the right people at the right times !!
ReneeT · 61-69, M
I think it can be something that you enjoy doing or being or seeing that others may wonder why it makes you feel the way you do. It doesn't necessarily need to be sexual
DominoSuo · M
It’s a set up. Lol
DominoSuo · M
Nope. Not going to answer 🤫
LindaM · 61-69, F
@DominoSuo why spy anything then
DominoSuo · M
Good question. I retract my statements 🤭
michelle44 · 56-60, F
an unusually strong attraction to something
helenS · 36-40, F
@michelle44 Some people play the piano 12 h a day, and that’s nit a fetish. I believe your definition is too broad.
michelle44 · 56-60, F
@helenS you are correct ...it is !
SW-User
Some hidden desire, which one may think is not normal as per society.
SW-User
Orgasming to a dying bitch
LindaM · 61-69, F
@SW-User omg

People throw around the word haphazardly though, usually negatively.
