	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Fetishism
		Theoretically, fetishism is present in all religions, but its use in the study of religion is derived from studies of traditional West African religious beliefs, as well as Voodoo, which is derived from those beliefs.
		Fetishism therefore is a stage where God is quietly disregarded, and the worship due to Him is quietly transferred to a multitude of spiritual agencies under His power, but uncontrolled by it.
		A fetish then, in the strict sense of the word, is any material object consecrated by the nganga or magic doctor with a variety of ceremonies and processes, by virtue of which some spirit is supposed to become localized in that object, and subject to the will of the possessor.

	Sexual fetishism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sexual fetishism is a form of paraphilia where the object of affection is a specific inanimate object or part of a person's body.
		Although Freud's theory on fetishes may seem peculiar and was based on anecdotal rather than empirical evidence, he had discovered a critical aspect of human sexuality: the relationship between human orgasms and conditioning.
		Similarly, 'fetish' is often used as a synonym for BDSM, whether or not it involves a fetish in the technical sense.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Freckle fetishism
		Freckle fetishism is a paraphilia in which an individual is fixated on freckles, the phenomenon of small brownish spots, caused by the pigment melanin, which naturally occur on human skin.
		Because the genes for red hair are recessive, it has been hypothesized that there is a biological basis for freckle fetishism in assortative mating for this desirable trait.
		Sexual fetishism, first described as such by Alfred Binet in his Le fétichisme dans l’amour, though the concept and certainly the activity is quite ancient, is a form of paraphilia where the object of affection is a specific inanimate object or part of a person's body.

	OverGround \| Features \| Is Devotion A Fetish?
		Fetishism is consequently a mental state that leads the person to worship or love such a material object which he takes as possessing a magical power or as having a special neurotic interest.
		Fetishism may therefore arise out of the confusion of attributes of objects for the attributes which may be taken to identify an individual as a candidate for being a parent.
		There is some evidence that fetishism is associated with temporal lobe epilepsy perhaps caused by hypoxia or injury at the time of birth - a general improvement in the care of mothers and their babies would reduce the incidence of such accidents and hence of the proportion of the population predisposed to become fetishists.

		According to Freud, fetishism is a replacement for the maternal phallus, a symbolic “re-masculinization” of the mother, allowing the fetishist (in Freud’s case, the fetishist is always male) to engage in sexual acts.
		It [the fetish] remains a token of triumph over the threat of castration and a safeguard against it; it also save the fetishist from being a homosexual by endowing women with the attribute which makes them acceptable as sexual objects.
