What exactly is a fetish?
Recently, Comic-Con has made it clear that gel clothing is not allowed.
The reason is that in order to get out of the circle, some people wear gel clothes and make some large-scale ** behaviors, which seriously affects the atmosphere of the comic exhibition.
There is nothing wrong with gelcoat itself, as a kind of tight-fitting clothing that can show the beauty of the human body.
It can bring visual shock, the smooth touch of latex, and can also create a "second" effect. Many people's love for latex actually stems from fetishes: some people like the feeling of being wrapped, while others prefer the smell of latex. 
So, what exactly is a fetish?Fetishism is a Latin word that originally referred to the worship of inanimate objects such as statues and tokens. Nowadays, it has become a general term for sexual pleasure caused by objects, body parts. 
Common fetishes are actually foot fetishes and lingerie fetishes. For example, in ancient China, many people had a special preference for women's feet.
This is because in the traditional conservative and repressive environment, the obsession with the feet has become an outlet for catharsis.
In modern and contemporary times, there is no shortage of celebrities with foot fetishes.
For example, the famous director Quentin, the pop idol Elvis, the artist Andy Warhol, and the home Thomas Hardy.
In the Korean drama "Cheese Trap", the man who steals women's underwear disguised as the grandson of the landlord is also a typical fetish.
However, in fact, the richness of fetish objects is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Car models, stationery boxes, tea cans, these everyday things can become fetishes.
There are also quite a few people who have fetishes.
According to a study in the Journal of Sex Studies, one-third of Americans have tried at least one particular fetish in their lives. Why do so many people have fetishes?
Why do people have fetishes?There is no systematic scientific conclusion about the causes of fetishes.
However, psychologists generally believe that fetish behavior may be formed by several factors acting together and evolving. 
Prada Fall-Winter 2022** Advertising Stories and Contradictions of FetishistsPsychosexual development is hindered in childhood and is one of the main causes of fetishes.
These attached objects usually have a common feature: they contain the most familiar smells of the child, which may be the mother's or his own body odor.
Winnicott, a child psychoanalyst, called such objects "transitional objects".
All objects that are linked through mother and child have the potential to become that "transitional object". 
The "transitional object" is not given by adults, but is "discovered" or "created" by the child himself in a specific situation.
For example, when I was in kindergarten, a classmate bullied me, and every time I heard the sound of the teacher's shoes, I knew that a savior was coming.
Sandals are his transitional object, and the same is true of the baby's pacifier, which can serve as a temporary substitute to comfort us.
Winnicott believes that the transitional object is a symbol of the stability of maternal love in the child's heart, and can even be used as a substitute for maternal love.
And there isMany people who have a fetish are because they have often seen something when they are self-satisfied, and then they naturally urge to see it.
Just like the famous experiment of physiologist Pavlov, after ringing the bell before feeding the dog for a while, as soon as the bell rings, the dogs will drool wildly even if there is no food.
Medically, is fetishism a disease?There are now clearer diagnostic criteria for whether a fetish constitutes a mental disorder.
According to DSM-5, such sexual fantasies, urges, or behaviors (triggered by fetish) cause clinically significant distress or result in impairment of social, occupational, or other important functions.
All in all, if you want to judge whether your fetish complex has reached a pathological level, an important reference is whether this fetish has an uncontrollable impact on your normal life.
Fetish, what is the relationship between fashion and fashion?Fetishism and fashion have always had a wonderful connection. In the West, fetishes are relegated to being an accessory to sexual liberation. In the United States in the 80s, young people pursued sexual liberation and the satisfaction of desire, so tight suits and bright gel coats appeared. The Sexual Liberation & Sexual Minority movement continues to break the taboo gaze of the past. Physical expansion, power relations, erotic expression, and intimacy are all too normal topics to perpetuate. Leather, latex, fishing nets, ropes, stuffed animals, rivets, ......Fetish culture encompasses much more than the objectified symbols of these stereotypes.
Latex is most often used by artists to express fetishes.
Because the latex clothing can outline a smooth and perfect body curve, it surpasses the intention generated by the rope bondage, giving people a sense of suffocation, and making people unconsciously enjoy the pleasure of "being controlled".
The costumes of the original Catwoman and Batman were both latex tights.
The ** leather in fetish culture has also been brought into the field of fashion.
From being just a tool for fetishes and enthusiasts, to becoming a muse for designers, fetishes redefine the understanding of love, lust and intimacy.
The rope bondage art installation Hajime Kinoko fetish also reflects the absurdity of social consciousness to some extent.
When a person's behavior, mannerisms, and morals are very different from the mainstream, as the majority, we will instinctively exclude him, suppress him, dislike him, and make him more marginalized.
Therefore, the situation of the fetish group reflects the fear and incomprehension of the "majority" and the "minority" in society.
After understanding this, we can understand a little more about fetishes and be a little more relieved.
