What defines a fetish?

edited December 2008 in Social Entropy++
Google tells me that fetish means: "a form of sexual desire in which gratification depends to an abnormal degree on some object or item of clothing or part of the body." But that's really vague. I mean, what's abnormal?

For instance, I like hair. I have specific types of hairdoes and hair colors I like depending on the person, my favorite being brunette with curly hair about shoulder length and average volume, preferably with a slight tint of red. I usually notice a womans hair before I notice anything else about her. I have even done a double-take on an ugly woman just because she has beautiful hair.

However, I won't sleep or date someone for their hair, and I don't have any sexual needs directly surrounding the hair. So, do I have some weird hair fetish, or what?

    If you don't have some sexual need for the hair, you don't have a fetish.

    If you cannot get off without it, it's a fetish

    in order to define abnormality, you've gotta define a normal sex life first

    since that's pretty much impossible, i guess this whole discussion is pretty stupid

    Nah, that just means you like hair and find it attractive. It would be a fetish if you wanted to have sex with her hair.

    The raw definition of fetish is so vague because there really is no limit to the sexuality of the human mind. There really is something for everyone.

    However, I feel that using the word "abnormal" in a definition that is so shallow is irresponsible since sexuality is more natural than most people give credit. I gave monsterror advice about this last night, actually

    my crazy stupid aunts in utah were using the word fetish wrong.

    they thought it was something you hate, so one day my mom is up there visiting, and my aunt is going on and on about how she has this fetish about spaghetti or something, and my mom is just horrified, until she figures out that my aunt is just retarded and though 'fetish' could also mean something you hate a lot, as though it was synonymous with anathema

    A fetish is really just something sexual you focus a lot of attention on beyond "normal" sex. That's hard to define, but you can maybe get close by imagining something that doesn't simply involve stimulating one anothers genitals.

    It also needs to be something you focus a lot of attention on, and if it's something you can't get off WITHOUT then it is definitely a fetish.

    ...this one won't because due to the nature of the internet no one likes to follow directions or suggestions and chances are it will tangent off into something completely inoffensive along the lines of model airplane construction.
