I have a fetish that i don't like...?

Fetishism is characterized by either intense sexually arousing fantasies, urges, or behaviors in which the individual uses a nonliving object (e.g., woman’s high heeled shoe, stockings) in a sexual manner. Typically, the individual requires this object to become sexually aroused and is therefore unable to be aroused without it. To be considered diagnosable, the fantasies, urges, or behaviors must cause significant distress in the individual or be disruptive to his or her everyday functioning.

Treatment

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Treatment typically involves psychotherapy aimed at uncovering and working through the underlying cause of the behavior.

Prognosis

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Prognosis is good although often there are other issues which may surface once the behaviors are extinguished. If this is the case, these issues must be worked through as well.

It appears that this is causing you some personal issues and as the DSM states disruptive to your everyday functioning, You had not directly said if this was the case, but seems as if you need help them could be. Only you can decide this one. Alternatively, you may find its not so bad, and in that case consider your fetish one more thing to enjoy :-) As appears you may be more concerned what others think in this instance.

Hey George!

It can't be all that bad........ Can it?

If there is a part of you that finds some enjoyment with whatever this is, then live life, enjoy!

If it's something that is dangerous to you or others, seek some type of help. Talk to someone about it, you might be surprised that u are not alone.

If you don't like it then you don't have a fetish. You need to like it in order for it to be a fetish. I think you mean you have an obsession.

This is pretty vague. I guess the best way to deal with it is to see a trained counselor. They've probably heard everything imaginable.

Amazingly enough an anti-depressant medication that supresses anxiety may just help you. So see your doctor and be prepared to maybe have to tell what it is or something close to it so he/she is able to help you.

Don't get rid of it! Embrace it! Let it come out and play! You'd be plesantly surprised how many people are into the same spunky stuff you are into...

Talk to a therapist about it. They're trained to help people with that sort of thing.

I think GEORGE likes his fetish but is scared to say he does and wont say what it is cause it is illegal. Maybe he likes ........... thats SICK if it is what I think.

NO one can help you if you don't say what kind of fetish you have.

i think you do like it, if you didnt you wouldnt, i think you would like to believe that you dont like because maybe you think its wrong, the first step to fixing the problem is to realize that you have a problem.
