Is L&C your most preferred or only fetish?

I still agree that maybe the word PARAPHILIA better describes what is about.

The understanding matter of the word 'fetish', is rather liguistic, alongside with psy content... :-)
Fetish in origin has religious connotation: object believed to possess supernatural powers.
Generalised however (not only in religious or sexual context), it STILL means : an intermediary object (including objectified part of a body, or mental concept..) to facilitate something different.
Fetish serves to facilitate some goal, different from, = NOT cofined in the object itself.
Therefore, lots of situations called "fetish" in sexual commercialism (sales-man linguistic abuse of the word, as was started primarity in the USA in the 1970-ies, then "exported") are not a fetish at all, when they are the goal in itself.
I believe, a minimum of linguistic .... "Hygiene" :-) ... could be welcomed in communication !
