Description
Fetishistic Disorder is characterized by recurrent and intense sexual arousal from either the use of nonliving objects or a highly specific focus on nongenital body parts, as manifested by fantasies, urges, or behaviors. The fetish objects are not limited to articles of clothing used in cross-dressing or devices specifically designed for tactile genital stimulation. Diagnosis requires that the condition cause clinically significant distress or impairment, or involve nonconsenting individuals.
