What's the difference between a fetishist and a deviant ?

If you use a French tickler, that’s a Fetish but if you use a French hen, that’s Deviant

...and pervert.
Yeah, I'd like to know too.
We actually had a definition of a deviant in some classes in high school that surprised me. The definition was that the deviant is an individual whose thoughts and behaviour deviates from the norm and [b]must engage in activities that harm other people or their possessions.[/b] Until then I thought a deviant was any individual whose thoughts and worldviews deviate from the norm but doesn't necessarily need to act on anything.

Fetishist is someone who is sexually aroused by objects or activities that are not common to trigger sexual arousal in people. Fetishist doesn't need to act on anything, it's purely about how does his or her body react to the said object or activity.

IMO only, deviants are somewhat twisted, and in the past have been considered sick in some way, and fetishists are deviants who are fixated on objects or particular behaviors or on body parts.

None - both have a sick fetish of following Liverpool

Hmmm???

A fetish is simply the unique interest that stirs an individual's sexual feelings.

A deviant is someone who actively tries to satisfy those feelings via devious conduct.

one uses a feather. the other uses a entire greased chicken?.

Feathers versus the Whole Chicken

A potato and a plant based potato

One of them is in general criminal
