all pornography is the fetishism of sex, the preference of simulation over reality, the commodification of basic human and in fact genetic desires.

In my opinion you can only really understand the pyschological view of fetishism you talk about in the terms of reference of commodification... its nothing to with kids wanting to shag their mum and kill their dad, its to do with the relentless and ever spiralling thrall of capital and capitalistic conditions.

In fact, I would go so far to say that masturbation is a capitalist invention. Of course, such things mechanically existed in previous societies and even in lower animals, but only under the conditions of capitalism if a multi billion pound masturbation industry created.

I expect you shouldnt have to look too hard to find some so called artist taking a black and white picture of a shoe or a hemline in close up or a set of buttocks... but I do not think such things have any meaning outside of a true understanding of the conditions which create them.
