Fetishes can be devastating.

They can often make a partner
uncomfortable when the subject comes up, and many people with fetishes
become dependent on the fetish for sexual satisfaction, which can make
it extremely difficult to maintain a sexual relationship with another
person. It's an obsession that can interfere with a person's daily
life and mental well-being, in some cases. They may feel "dirty" and
"different", and like a social outcast.

They may feel like they have a
horrible secret that they have to hide for the rest of their lives.
When fetishes go too far, as in the cases of men who break into
women's homes to steal their underwear, they can have major
repercussions for the person with the fetish, as well as other people.
Festishes are mysterious. They could result from childhood
experiences. Say a young boy develops an interest in his mother's
shoes or sister's underwear, and even though he doesn't understand
why, it ends up becoming something that stays with him and torments
him as he grows older, ultimately becoming a sexual fixation. Maybe
this fascination simply comes from a woman's shoe, pantyhose, or
underwear being so different from the clothing males have. Some
fetishes may also come from being extremely shy and introverted.
Someone who feels they can't approach a woman and may be frightened by
the thought of a woman may instead fixate on their shoes, for example,
and satisfy themselves with the thought of this object.

Fetishes are
much more prevalent in males, perhaps because they don't feel the need
to socialize and aren't as emotionally needy as women are, and in this
day and time, men can't just go out and grab a woman to have sex with
when they have the urge, so they take it out on objects.
Whatever the cause, a person with a fetish may be able to keep it in
check, but sometimes it may get it out of hand. Often, if a woman is
in a relationship and her partner has, say a shoe fetish, she may
begin to feel that the fetish is more important to her partner than
she is. In cases like these, psychological treatment may have to be
sought.

Fetishes can be deeply embedded, and may never completely go
away, but there are treatments available if they begin to negatively
effect a person's life. Just talking to a psychiatrist may help, as
they can teach them to be more comfortable socially. Drugs like Prozac
can also help with compulsive behaviors. And if nothing else works,
shock therapy is an option.

The person is told to fantasize about the
object of their fetish, and their finger is shocked. They then are
told to fantasize about physical sex, and they are not shocked. This
process is repeated until their brain "learns" to become more
comfortable with the thought of physical sex as opposed to fantasizing
about the object. Sounds a little extreme, but it probably would help
a lot of tortured souls out there.
Here's the search result numbers for some specific fetishes on Google:
Foot: 2,620,000
Food: 162,000
Pee: 77,500
Shoe fetish: 248,000
Panty fetish: 270,000
Pantyhose fetish: 349,000
While festishes may seem like something bad, they're often just one of
those harmless quirks of the human mind. But if a fetish goes too far,
there is hope. So if you can enjoy your shoes and your woman, too,
fantasize away, otherwise, you may end up with some sore fingers.
(From the shock therapy! Not what you're thinking, though that could
be true, too.)
