Yes, but only if they cause you distress or distrupt your ability to function on a regular basis. Lots of people with fetishes out there who keep things in perspective, enjoy their fetish recreationally. However, there are some folks who get preoccupied with their fetish, go through great lengths to maintain the fetish, and end up disrupting their lives, and the lives of their familes. If a fetish is dysfunctional in this way, it is a sexual disorder....

Not always but some times yes. It's only necessary to seek help if harm is coming from your sexual habit, if, for example, you're clashing with the law or injuring yourself or others. Or pedophile behavior involving children Then yes. if not Your off-the-track practices aren't hurting anyone? In that case, "Enjoy!"

No, fetishes are the opposites of phobias. Everyone has a phobia and that's normal so why wouldn't a fetish be?

If you mean to imply that attempts should be made to cure them probably not because you would be just as likely to make them worse or mutate into something else perhaps less desirable.

Only if they hamper your life, either your sex life or regular life or otherwise cause you or others grief, pain, or put anybody in danger can they be considered a disorder.
