I can't understand (or discern, even!) a question here? (change the word 'fetishes' to 'fish' and then try reading it again).

People seem to assume that the word 'Fetish' means a 'liking for some sexual activity away from the Norm,' whereas, in the strict use of that word, it means 'some thing (usually inanimate) which has to be present during sexual activity before an orgasm to occur.'

But, people like to put their own twists onto words and their meanings ....hence Bill Clinton feeling able to state that he did ''Not have a sexual relationship with that (Monica Lewinski) woman.''

Clearly, her supplying him with oral sex did not constitute a 'sexual relationship,' and with him being a lawyer, he had have a very narrow and defined definition of what he was speaking about (though I'd like to bet Hillary didn't quite agree with him - and his definition).

Oh, one other over used term, 'Seduce,' or 'Seduction.' Its meaning is, 'To persuade someone from off of their chosen path....'

To Test this, use the expression, 'You cannot seduce those who are willing.'

[ For those who need that explaining to them:
'If she or he is willing, then it cannot be a seduction.' ]

Regards.
Sash.

Depends on what you are asking. Are you meaning a fetish as in some specific thing that really excites a person? If so the answer to that question is infinite because of the many different types of people in the world and all of the things that attracts them

A fetish is an object that you obsessively fixate on to the exclusion of other things. So if you like all types of fetish, you're no longer privileging one object and therefore no longer a fetishist. I'm sure it's possible to fetishise shoes, but also hats, but the more things you obsess over, the less of a fetishist you are - you're just excited about being alive :-)
