Just popped into my crazy head last night  - could it be true?
Fetishes a sign of aspergers?
Do you have one? |

I don't think it's linked to Asperger's or autism as in a trait.  |

Neither do I, but I chose chests nonetheless.

I have known a lot of people. . well. . men with the fetishes you supplied in your poll. I would like you to remember that even Freud said he was amazed that the human species has reproduced when it is so variable what someone will impress upon their psyche as the proper sexual outlet to do so!
so no, I don't think it is just Aspies that are into fetishes.

| Well yah anyone can have them - but my question is if "narrow focusing" (OCD) can be a part of Aspergers - Does it pop-up a lot in the group? |

I don't think having a fetish is a sign of Aspergers. Although, a random fact, people who have foot fetishes are more likely to become necrophiliacs than the average person.

I don't really have fetishes. I find different girls attractive for a myriad of reasons, often for traits that I don't even recognize.

Is there a reason you chose to include only those four fetishes in your poll?
I don't have any fetishes, what I have are more like fascinations with nothing sexual to them.

I don't think there's a link to asperger's and fetishes.
I don't know how to quite describe this. It's not really feet and it's not necessarily legs, but I have a thing for women in high heels(Not the shoes themselves), if the foot curves right. I don't like high heel boots because it covers it up. I don't know if it counts as a fetish either, it's not something I've ever used in sex or really could use, it's just something I'm attracted to and like to look at.
The part circled is what I'm talking about.

I can see a parallel between fixations and fetishes, but they aren't the same thing.
Since someone mentioned necrophilia, I'll cite that as an example of something I have a fixation on, but it's not really a turn-on so it's not a fetish.
Specifically, I don't know what necrophilia counts as: symbolic consummation of all unrequited love, or just really pretentious masturbation. Any thoughts?

What about "other"?
Things that turn me on in people:
school shooter types or ex-school-shooter types
mortuary/morgue jobs
antidepressants
French-speaking hydro workers, airport screeners and firemen and other French-speaking men in uniform. Quebecois the best.

| I was wondering about that ... I have a weird fetish for hands ... particularly fingers, but only when the nails are trimmed just right, with no white showing. |
