A fetish is an object, body part, or activity that causes intense and persistent sexual arousal in a person. This arousal is necessary to achieve orgasm and is considered a paraphilia, that is, a variant of human sexuality that is outside of what is considered "normal" or average.

To better understand the fetish, we can break it down into several points:
1- Object: The fetish can be anything, from clothing (such as shoes, stockings, lingerie) to everyday objects (such as a watch, a book, a piece of cloth).
2- Body part: It can also be a specific part of the body, such as hair, feet, or even body odors.
3- Activity: In some cases, the fetish focuses on a specific activity, such as being tied up, being humiliated, or watching someone perform certain actions.
4- Function: The fetish serves the function of sexually stimulating and arousing the person who has it.

The most popular fetishes:

a) Sex toys: These are items that a person uses to stimulate themselves sexually or increase their arousal during sexual activity. These objects can be very varied and range from sex toys designed specifically for this purpose, to everyday objects that acquire a sexual meaning for the person who uses them.
b) Threesomes.
c) Rubber and latex.
d) Uniforms.
e) Humiliation.
f) Body parts (feet, breasts, legs, and others)
g) Urophilia: Urophilia is a paraphilia, that is, a variant of human sexuality that is outside of what is considered "normal" or average. In this case, sexual arousal occurs through urine, either by urinating, being urinated on, or watching someone else urinate.

It is important to note that:

Human sexuality is diverse and encompasses a wide range of experiences, desires and preferences. Fetishes are a natural part of this diversity.

Not all people with fetishes have problems: Many people with fetishes lead a full and satisfying sex life, without this negatively affecting themselves or their partners.
A fetish is not a disease: It is considered a variant of sexuality, just like homosexuality or bisexuality.
A fetish is not something that is chosen: It is a sexual attraction that arises unconsciously and can be very intense.

When is it considered a problem?
It is considered a problem when the fetish causes anguish or suffering to the person who has it, or when it interferes with their daily life or relationships. In these cases, it may be necessary to seek professional help.

If you have doubts about whether your fetish is something to worry about, I recommend:
Talk to a professional: A sex therapist or psychologist can help you better understand your feelings and find healthy ways to express your sexuality.

Search for information: There is a lot of information available about fetishes and paraphilias. Educating yourself can help you feel more comfortable with yourself.

Join support groups: Connecting with others who share similar experiences can be very helpful.
