Why do people have fetishes? I honestly wonder why I like the things I do. It seems weird to...

I think it's a kind of childhood trauma, if we're talking about "real" fetishes. Mine started when I was a child, despite not having sexual feelings then. When I began experiencing sexual feelings, it became sexual too. A fetish is an obsession which gives the person pleasure, satisfaction, and often also feelings of safety and familiarity. I think nowadays many people confuse fetishes with regular kinks.

I think that for me it's the result of trauma. But some argue that there's already a predisposition for it and people who later develop a fetish are born neurodivergent in some way. I wonder if anybody actually does any real solid research on it.
