I was scared for a second there. I had adopted the page

• Erotic lactation
• Hand fetishism
• Garment fetishism
• Jock sniffing

I'm not sure what is going on, but the count has dropped to only three now,

I had a similar situation a while ago... it's probably the system catching-up. I'm lost for any other explanation. Redblueball (talk) 17:40, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See the references at the bottom of the

• 1. Erotic spanking, those who have this as a fetish and not just a paraphilia are known as spankophiles and need some sort of spanking in order to enjoy sex. It's not just an added thing that turns them on it is necessary for their sexual pleasure and is a fetish for them.
  2. Silk and satin fetishism
     : as their names imply these are fetishes not paraphilias.
  3. Stocking fetishism
     : I expanded from just underwear fetishism because most of these people don't have fetishes regarding the others e.g. a stocking fetishist probably won't be into panties, etc.
  4. Sthenolagnia, Salirophilia, Paraphilia, Exhibitionism, Wetlook, Flatulophilia
     : I'd be willing to argue these out on an individual basis as many of them can become extreme enough that they become fetishes for people, and many of them I have heard described as fetishes. Unfortunately my knowledge of these is not as deep as my knowledge of other fetishes so I would have to look into and discuss these.
  5. Autassassinophilia: I consider any paraphilia strong enough were you'd be willing to put your life at risk in order to experience it strong enough to be considered a fetish.
  6. Exhibitionism: many exhibitionists need to do this and are compulsive about it to the point that it interferes with their lives and becomes a fetish.
  7. Forced feminization
     then it qualifies as a fetish seeing as how their are many people who fantasize solely about this and even to the point of adopting lifestyles around this.
  8. Tamakeri, Omorashi
     : Japanese fetishes popular enough that they have spawned their own gameshows and genres.

This template is a mess. Sexual fetishism is defined as the "sexual arousal a person receives from a physical object"; this template contains many sexual activities that don't relate to objects, such as body parts (this is partialism). Should be completely redone IMO. Handcuffed (talk) 07:11, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In the strict sense, you are completely correct. For the purpose of how fetishism is described on most of these pages, as well as the common English usage, the way it currently is is fine. These desires are named "fetishes" by the overwhelming majority of English speakers. Saying "Foot-fetish" is a common phrase, everyone knows what you mean. Only people educated on the origins of the word "Fetish" will acknowledge its original (Object-related) origin, as well as it's more medical definition. --Anonymous 6/13/2012 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.209.74.8 (talk) 20:59, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In the template box at the bottom of fetish related articles I have noticed there is the addition of "Second Skin" in 2 catagories(Clothing,Objects). The page for Spandex Fetishism exactly describes second skin fetishism. They are not different concepts as a result. The image for that page even is of a Zentai suit.

Recommendation: Consider MERGING "Spandex fetishism" and the non-existant "Second Skin" pages since they both are the same thing. There doesn't need to be both.

I've removed "Second skin" from the template because the article was deleted in February. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 21:32, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Considering we have at least two articles for racial fetishism (

It is listed on 18,000 people's pages on Fetlife, compared to 2,000 for erotic lactation and 300 for emetophilia, so I believe it belongs here. BrightVamp (talk) 15:13, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please add penis size as a body part fetish. People who prefer or insist on large penises are known as size queens. There are subcategories within size queens: length queens, girth queens, and large object insertions. 67.169.24.202 (talk) 05:33, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now. You need to have a specific existing article (or a section within one) about a fetish itself to link to. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 13:34, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
