If you have a fetish, (it's not weird, illegal or creepy-- just annoying,) and you don't think about it, act on it, or anything, will it just disappear? Or, will it do the opposite, and just become stronger and more overbearing?
Does anyone have any experience with this? Can anyone tell me what to do to get rid of a fetish? Will just blocking it from your head do any good?
Thanks.

no, it will not go away. it will get stronger. fetishes are a paraphalia. i am a criminal justice major and we had to learn about fetishes in a deviant behavior class that i took.

do you mean more of a habit than a fetish? ignoring it won't make it go away but the fact that you recognize you have a problem with it is the first step now you can take action to get rid of it, every time it presents itself recognize it for what it is and do something else or read or keep a journal. you'll find after a while the habit will not keep cropping up in your mind so much and one day you'll realize its completely gone...sometimes it returns periodically but by then you can handle it just the same way. good luck

You're going to have to describe a little more about your "fetish". There are several different ways this word can be described. Let us know a little more about it and which definition defines it:

all you can do is try right! good luck , i personaly think it might get stronger, you know wanting something you cant have?, but i really dont know, all i can say its to give it a whirl, ... and i embrace my fetish.... dont you want to embrace yours, they create spice and sexual difference, makes things less boring, you never know you may find some one with the same fetish as you ;>

Blocking it doesn't make it go away. What's your fetish? I'm just curious.

im not completely sure what a fetish is, but im assuming its like a habit, or something that you become completely infactuated with and unless you have like obsessive compulsive disorder, it'll go away if you ignore it.. its not gonna stay with you forever

If you ignore it for years, maybe. It depends on how strong the pull is. It could be better to just accept it, but if you do feel uncomfortable about it, trying taking steps to further yourself from it, or replace those urges with something else.

I think it get harder to the point you just give in. What is your fetish if you don't mind me asking?

WHAT'S THE FETISH? YOU'RE KILLIN US HERE!!! but no really inhibiting it may make it worse. If it ain't creepy then don't worry about it. as long as it doesn't involve a family member. ewwwwwwww

Yes it can disappear if you do not think about it but if you are constantly reminded of it it could make it worse.
