Question 1

what causes fetishes?

Accepted Answer

Fetish: Is result of strong emotional or physical  experiences in earlier childhood years. Such early experiences result in acting them out through the object of fetish. For example, use of non-living objects as stimulus to achieve arousal.

Question 2

how to become unattracted to fetishes?

Accepted Answer

Why do you ask?: Every man and many women have some special, unexplainable thing that's a turn-on. Often these are fun. If it's something you don't want, focus on expanding your sexual repertoire through experimenting and communicating, and learn to be a good lover without. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is an option, and especially, focusing on the greatest goal of sexuality -- a really loving relationship.

Question 3

can you tell me how i could stop my skirt fetish?

Accepted Answer

Manage it: Every man and many women have at least one inexplicable turn-on. If you like ladies in skirts, good for you. Give them as gifts to the special women in your life. If you like wearing then, you're one of the 10% of guys who like to cross-dress. If this is an unwanted compulsion or it limits what you can do, consider cognitive-behavioral therapy. Otherwise, consider simply enjoying it.

Question 4

how can i tell a girlfriend about a giantess fetish?

Accepted Answer

Why do you ask?: Every guy, and many women, has some strange and inexplicable turn-on. Often these are fun. Pillow-talk after lovemaking is a good time. Ask her what her strangest turn-on is. You'll be surprised. Tell her, "Someday I'd like to meet a lady giant. But I like you better." If this is really causing you trouble, ask your doctor about cognitive-behavioral Rx to get back into control.

Question 5

If you are troubled: by your sexual tastes or if they are dangerous or illegal, you need to be seen by a professional.  Find someone who specializes in sexual disorders and get help.  Most important, do not act on any dangerous or illegal sexual fantasies!

Question 6

i have a huge panty fetish and love to wear them.  how normal is it for men to wear women's lingerie.

Accepted Answer

Fetish: this is a sexual fetish which in itself is harmless, unless causing family or personal stress. I do suggest discussing this fetish with a trained clinical psychologist.
Are you using the underwear for sexual purposes? ( masturbation, sexual encounters, during intercourse ). How long have you had this fetish and has it interferred with your life?

Question 7

my boyfriend has a diaper fetish?

Accepted Answer

PSYCHIATRIST: If it is annoying you seek professional psychiatric help.

Question 8

are sexual fetishes a mental problem?

Accepted Answer

Too Broad: I am sorry, but this question is so broad and undefined that there is no way to answer it honestly.  Perhaps you can ask about the fetish you are most interested in.

Question 9

is it a bad idea to to resist a fetish?

Accepted Answer

Depends what kind : If a fetish becomes intrusive, or consumes excessive time, then it should be dealt with.  If it is minor and not harmful without disruption then it may be fine.

Question 10

how come i have this secret diaper fetish?

Accepted Answer

No way to know: People have a variety of fetishes or interests. Most do not cause any harm or keep them from living healthy lives with healthy relationships. It's like trying to ask someone "why" they like strawberry ice cream rather than vanilla. Everyone is different. If your fetish does not interfere with healthy relationships, it is not considered a problem.
