I was under the impression that a fetish typically meant that it was almost necessary for that element to be in play in order to achieve sexual arousal? While it's true that most of these are outside of "normal" sexual considerations, I think that most things have become labeled as fetish even when they are in fact, just natural responses to the sexual psyche.
and yes there are bad fetishes such as pedophilia, necrophelia, etc. They all just fall under the big umbrella of paraphilia
