A sexual fetish (or, more properly, a paraphilia) is getting turned on by something that isn't considered a normal turn-on by one's culture. Of course this means what is considered a fetish [[Values Dissonance|will vary]], and puritanical cultures will even consider any form of arousal to be taboo. ''Anything'' that isn't a normal turn-on could be a fetish. That is the other reason not to go into a detailed description of what exactly a fetish is. In fiction, there are general clues to show [[Author Appeal|what's being treated as a fetish]]
It's still uncommon to see a fetish openly discussed in mainstream fiction, and rare to see those with a fetish ''not'' treated like [[Acceptable Targets|weirdos]].
