A fetish is something that is not necessarily sexual, but is needed to become aroused?

ReplyDeleteI'd say Fetish was on a more serious level. Kink, sounds cheeky, playfull, ooh la la...
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your contribution! I particularly like the definition on kink as "an intelligent and playful usage of sexual concepts".
ReplyDeleteYes, it's certainly a complex affair, this kinky fetish business. ;-)
And because of that and because of our status as potential cultural parihas, it is essential, I think, that we ourselves (as fetishists / kinksters) are clear about the actual meaning of those labels. It's interesting to notice how little in fact these terms are actually discussed in terms of their meaning, their connotations as removed from their attention-grabbing (sexual) context, even by us...
