A fetish is defined as loving or being turned on by a specific object in a way that is identifiable separately from normal sexual drives.
As a similar example, foot fetish is when someone is turned on simply by seeing, being around, or thinking about feet. By way of example, two people can give a foot massage, the person with the fetish will be turned on during the massage because they are touching feet, while both will enjoy the fact that the massage is being enjoyed by the receiving party.
That's what I mean when I said "Identifiable separately", in the above example the desire to touch, be near, or see feet is separate from the desire to give someone a massage that they enjoy. [ WittyUsernameHere's advice column | Ask WittyUsernameHere A Question ]
