I agree with Osuche, a fetish does not necessarily have to be sexual, although it can definitely be that as well.

For me a fetish is an intense interest in something very specific. Whether it is a particular act, situation, person, place, or thing. There is usually a negative connotation as though a fetish is irrational or obsessive. But I just think fetishes make that particular person unique.

My fetish is having sex with a naked man in socks. It stems from two images I had seen when I was much younger that turned me on immensely. The images stuck with me through my sexual development (as far as it has gotten) and really became a part of my sexuality. Now, it's not to say that I only ever get turned on by a naked man in socks, but if I do see this or imagine it it intensifies the experience.

I've had non-sexual fetishes too. I have an intense fetish for books. Just their mere presence in the room makes me feel happier and calmer. Even the aroma of dried ink on paper lingers with me when I open a new book.

That's just my two cents...
