Fetishism is a psychological phenomenon where an individual has a strong sexual attraction to a specific object, body part, or activity that is not typically considered sexual in nature. This can include items like shoes, lingerie, or even certain materials like latex. The fetish can enhance sexual arousal and may play a significant role in a person's sexual identity. In some cases, fetishism is classified as a paraphilia, which refers to atypical sexual interests. While it can be a normal part of human sexuality, it may become problematic if it interferes with relationships or daily functioning. Understanding fetishism involves recognizing the diversity of human sexual expression.
