Fetishistic Disorder is a paraphilic disorder characterized by recurrent
and intense sexual arousal from either nonliving objects or specific body parts
not typically associated with sexual stimulation. Individuals with Fetishistic
Disorder often experience significant distress or impairment due to their
fetishistic fantasies, urges, or behaviors.
Common fetishes may include items such as shoes, undergarments, or objects
with specific textures or materials. The fetish object becomes necessary or
preferred for sexual arousal and may interfere with normal sexual relationships
or functioning.
Treatment for Fetishistic Disorder typically involves psychotherapy,
particularly cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or behavioral therapy, aimed at
identifying and addressing underlying factors contributing to the fetishistic
behavior. Therapy may also focus on developing healthier coping mechanisms and
addressing any associated distress or impairment. In some cases, medication may
be prescribed to target co-occurring mental health conditions or manage sexual
urges. It's important to note that consensual fetishistic behavior within a
relationship is not considered a disorder unless it causes significant distress
or impairment.
