The various fetishes are essential in
the performance of different deviant sexual practices, and their use is
perfectly legal, causing maybe just slight consternation. Essentially, sexual
fetishes can also be classified as paraphilias because they mean special or perverted
attraction not toward an adult person as a whole but a part of their body (most
typically female feet) or some sexualized inanimate object (such as women's
boots and high-heels). The word ‘fetish’ in this context refers to the object
or body part in question. In everyday life, in addition to sexually arousing
objects or parts of the body, certain activities and role-playing are often
classified as sexual fetish, and therefore are thus increasingly present in
BDSM sexual rituals (e.g. attraction to latex clothes). The use of sexual
fetishes is perfectly legal, and the law does not sanction deviations from
normal. Some decades ago, when a man in a woman's outfit walking in the city
centre caused outrage and resulted in police action was not normal, but today
it is completely accepted in Western societies, so men with female clothes
fetish or pre-op transgender men can safely wear women's clothing in public
places, so this sort of fetish has become completely legal.
