Generally things that don't cause pain or belittle a person are turn-ons. Fetishes, I don't know. Maybe oral sex. If it's not a fetish, it's definitely a turn on. I guess another is I like seeing ladies undressing and fondling guys (pictures or my wife doing it with me) and, guys tenderly undressing and fondling ladies.

I've heard a lot of preferences, but no fetishes, as I understand them.

My understanding of a fetish is something without which it doesn't happen, or happens in a vastly inferior experience.

I think you're right, OF. I really don't think I have any true fetishes. Good point.

I found myself nodding in agreement throughout most of your list. The main fetishes are definately shared completely. The seasonal ones, less so. Glasses on girls/guys is definately a turn on.

And the peeing fetish is something I've often been interested in. I'm not sure whether I'd fully enjoy it but I want to try it sometime, understand it better.

I have a strange... well since the definition of "fetish" has been explicitly stated I'll have to call it... an "attraction", to guys being sexually involved with each other. Seeing a guy give another guy a bj, or anything along those lines, really seems to get me hot, fast.

i think in general conversation, any compulsion or hang-up a person has about a body part, object, physical characteristic or sex act can be called a fetish.

but even the "less general" people, like shrinks and sexologists, have some disagreement about the terms sexual fetishism (different from just plain fetishism) and paraphilia, i.e. whether it can only be an inanimate object, a practice that is just considered unusual in said fetishists culture, something that must be used if the fetishists is going to feel any sort of gratification, something that is harmful or dysfunctional, or whether it's just that little bit of extra kink some of us crave, whether it needs to be a hang-up for a long period of time, say longer than a year, or if it can just be something we get off on only for a little while, etc.

in the strictest sense, definitions of (just plain)fetishism even apply to religion, idolatry, totemism, vodoo … there's even commodity fetishism (a term karl marx coined as a sort of ironic description of the social importance capitalist societies place on property and other inanimate objects.)

anyway, we’re just a bunch of pervs shootin the shit so, speaking for myself, i think fetish is a perfectly acceptable term to describe anything that gets you off just that little bit more than the "normal" genital stimulation. this is just my two cents, not meant to be confrontational.
