Why do people have fetishes?

I honestly wonder why I like the things I do. It seems weird to me, I didn't choose to get turned on by being tied up or by seeing attractive women wearing overalls. I've felt that way for as long as I can remember, with absolutely no reason why lol

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.

@Saage That's what I believe too.
