I don't have much to say on this subject except that I couldn't help but count that in the OP the word fetish appears 14 times in a very short number of phrases....
Do you have a fetish about fetishes?
I agree that a sexual fetish is something that excites one sexually that goes outside the usual tastes of the majority of people.
Why do people have these fetishes? I can't really offer much there because I personally don't have any fetishes myself, that I can conjure up. For some, it may just be exciting to combine sex and something risky or dangerous. In other cases, it seems like the brain may have some strange hardwiring going on. And then, of course some must stem from the person's most basic "child needs" that have never been totally resolved.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
