Yep you guessed it right, Keshi is on a Fetish-tracking mission today, so get ready my fellow-earthlings. Sexual fetishism was first described by Alfred Binet as though the concept and the activity is quite ancient, is a form of paraphilia (sexual arousal) where the object of affection is a specific inanimate object or part of a person’s body. The term arose from fetishism, the general concept of an object having supernatural powers, or an object created by humans that has power over other humans. Sigmund Freud hypothesized that human sexuality may similarly be tied to conditioning (learning), and this may explain the phenomenon of sexual fetishism. Common fetishes include fetishes focused on shoes, boots, hair and haircuts, gloves, wigs, body piercing, underclothing, diapers, or other garments made out of specific materials such as rubber, fur, spandex, leather, or nylon – did I hear diapers?
The term ‘fetish’ first came to my ears when one of my friends stated that her boyfriend has a foot-fetish. I was thinking maybe he was a Podiatrist or something like that, but I was tragically wrong. It meant that he has a strong connection with women’s feet and gets aroused by them. Imagine a dried, stinky pair of feet walking past him…wonder what will happen to his foot-fetish then. Anyways, that’s when I found out that people really get sexually aroused by specific body parts/objetcs/smells/substances etc etc. It’s not a crime or a problem to feel that way and it aint something to be ashamed of – apparently it’s natural brain stimuli linked with certain experiences even.
However fetishistic arousal is generally considered to be a problem only when it interferes with normal sexual or social functioning (imagine my friend’s boyfriend falling down on his knees and licking his female colleague’s feet -now that’s trouble). Sometimes the term ‘fetishism’ is used only for those cases where non-fetishist sexual arousal is impossible. So there you go…it’s very much connected to some external stimulus. The question: Do you have any fetishes, if so what are they? In simple words, what uniquely turns you on? Let me know and I will explain it a little bit further for you but only if it’s listed in the Fetish article I read (Saby’s fetishes I won’t be able to find on this Earth but I’ll try, ok Saby?). I will list mine at the end

Now to some very disappointing news…the Indian govt has managed to persuade some ISPs in India to block Blogger altogether. Because of this, some of my Indian blogger friends are not able to view any blogs at all. Isn’t this the height of stupidity demonstrated by the Indian govt? I hope all Indian bloggers will fight and win back their well-deserved right to information. Till then, I’ll be missing you my dear Indian blogmates!
