Mistress of Fetish
The word fetish originally meant "charm", and it originates from the 15th century Portuguese word feitico , which means false power, object or charm. For example, when the Portuguese explored West Africa and encountered native religions, they called whatever talisman (totems, carvings, beads) they revered, a fetish.
To the Portuguese in those days, the fetishists were those who worshipped the unusual. Later on, however, the implication of the word took on a whole different meaning.
First, a fetish involves the transfer of power from an original source onto a substitute. Second, a fetishist is someone who operates outside the circle of what is characteristically considered normal. Yeah right, what is normal nowadays?
Some people aren't sure if they even have a fetish while others think that their fetishes are abnormal. So what is a fetish? If you have a fetish, you are obsessively fixated on either an object or a body part, or both.You need that specific something for sexual gratification. When you masturbate , you have to either fantasize about that object or have that object with you. Even if you have sex with a partner, you still need to fantasize about that object or have it present.
For instance, if you're attracted to a brunette, that's one thing, but if you are unable to get aroused unless you're with a brunette, then you likely have a fetish.
