I never said anything was wrong with what people like. I just didn't agree with being considered a "fetish". I have a different understanding of the word, I guess. People will have different opinions.
If someone is attracted to me, it would nice to be considered attractive for the right reasons, that I am a person, not my skin color. Sure some men may "prefer" black women, but I consider that a preference, not a "fetish" for black skin. Just as men who love breasts, cleavage, etc.

While some may have a fetish in the sense that is all they can be turned on by for me as a example have always been a boob lover and voluptuous lover.While I do and can find women not like that attractive there is no denying that a round curvy body with cleevage sets my sensations on fire.And what's wrong with that?...nothing.I like what I like.

Of course the person they are matters also,it is not just her body parts that matter,but there is that physical attraction that does matter.So is it a fetish?,in a loose term yes,in textbook terms no because personality and all that still matter.

makes perfect sense to me. I think like an earlier poster said, some people are using the word 'fetish' way too loosely.

That last part is the biggest thing, it is a problem when you let a fetish control you, rather than the other way around.

I know what you are saying,and agreed that a person should be judged as a person not as a "fetish".I'm just saying when someone considers you attractive for the "right" reasons part of that reason will be visual more than likely.

Of course we do. For the sake of definition, a "fetish" is an object that is not considered to be sexual from a mainstream perspective.

For example, if you wear leather or latex and get off on it, the leather and latex are the fetish.

I think people who don't have fetishes are weird, so that pretty much tells you where I'm coming from

Easier said than done when you have a fetish...hence having a fetish.

I think it's rather difficult for some people to understand when they don't have a fetish themselves.

When I refer to fetish, I'm referring to sexual deviances.

If feet and breasts can be objectified, then why not skin color?

Of course we all want people to be attracted to us "for us", but the fact remains that there are people who focus on specific traits and get off on it...in fact they need that trait to get off.
