Fetish

A fetish is a strong sexual interest or fixation on a specific object, material, body part, or situation that is necessary for sexual arousal or satisfaction. This interest becomes a central focus in sexual activity, sometimes more influential than the overall partner or scenario. Fetishes vary widely and are considered a normal part of human sexuality unless they cause significant distress or impair daily functioning. They can develop from associations formed early in life or through other psychological factors, and most individuals with fetishes can engage in healthy, consensual relationships.
