Sexual fetishes not causing any distress is no cause for concern

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank You for trusting HealthcareMagic,

Sexual Fetishes can be considered a disorder only if it is affecting you or anybody associated with you in an adverse manner.

If you are happy, satisfied and able to function productively in all aspects of your life, then sexual fetishes are of no concern and do not require treatment/intervention.

However, If you are concerned, distressed or this is affecting you negatively in any manner, please be advised to seek help from psychiatrist/ psychotherapist.

Hope I was able to answer your question
Please address any more concerns.

Regards,
Dr.Lekshmi

Brief Answer:
Recommendations to discuss the fetishes wit your partner

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank You for following up

It is natural to feel nervous and embarrassed about discussing sexual fetishes with your partner. You can take your time and slowly ease the topic into the conversation with your partner. Take time and build confidence before you start talking. You can even use the popular media including movies and documentaries that deal with fetishes to open up to your partner.
If you do not feel that you can gain enough confidence to discuss these feelings by yourself, Please be advised to seek the help of a therapist/ relationship counseling.

Hope I was able to help you
