kinks are, one thing, fetishes are entirely different altogether. A fetish is technically a mental illness, where in the person with the fetish cannot even become aroused without the object of their fetish being present, they certainly cannot orgasm without the object of their fetish being present! For example: a person with a shoe fetish (for simplicity sake will say it’s a man). Without the specific shoe, he fetishizes, he would be unable to get even erection, and would be completely unable to ejaculate! The word “fetish“ is primarily a psychological term, and one that is unbelievably overused when people discuss sexuality and things they specifically enjoy within the purview of sexuality. Most often when somebody refers to a “fetish” what they’re REALLY talking about as a kink. Some thing a person finds kinky may be unusual, but they do not NEED it to become aroused or climax.

@Lowiu Thank you for the reply, but as a psychology major, working toward my PhD, A Fetish is considered both a Medical and Psychological disorder with diagnosis codes in both the ICD10 (international classification of diseases and the DSM 5. Diagnostic & Statistical Manual. Fetishism is considered part of the family of sexual disorders called Atypical Paraphilia’s here is an easy to read source that does not require medical training to understand. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_fetishism
But doesn't it say at diagnosis: It is only considered a disorder when fetishistic activities are the foremost source of sexual satisfaction, and become so compelling or unacceptable as to cause distress or interfere with normal sexual intercourse. doesn't that say there's some that aren't the main source
