When Is A Sexual Fetish Unhealthy?

When it's bullshit, not fantasy, bullshit.

A sexual fetish is when you're sexually aroused by non-sexual things or acts. That's one layer of bullshit already, but if you also fake it -- something women can do much, much easier than men -- you'll lose yourself before you know it, lose track of your personal wants, needs, desires etc. Add to that the extra layer of obvious nonsense that a sexual fetish is beyond one's control, that it's so primal or whatever that it can't even be explained, and you'll start to see that it's almost all bullshit.

It's all about attracting and sustaining intimacy (🤫), although it can be used for other purposes, of course, and some people are open with their emotions, but most are not, so pretty much everything anyone says about sex is lies, to cover whatever they're really into or whatever they're really getting from it.

Reality is inescapable. Just think of the sexual act itself. It requires at least two people and two people can't be in control at the same time, but both have to be satisfied or content for the act to be successful. Every real fetish is the result of this psychological pressure. So a better question would be: When is a sexual fetish healthy?
