So how did you come up with this definition then?
Because, so far, I've been unable to find anywhere else that defines a fetish in the same way.

For example, this is what Wikipedia says about fetishes: Sexual fetishism, or erotic fetishism, is the sexual arousal brought on by any object, situation or body part not conventionally viewed as being sexual in nature.

The Encyclopaedia Britannica: In psychology, a form of sexual deviance involving erotic attachment to an inanimate object or an ordinarily asexual part of the human body.

Dictionary.com: Any object or nongenital part of the body that causes a habitual erotic response or fixation.

Merriam-Webster: An object or bodily part whose real or fantasied presence is psychologically necessary for sexual gratification and that is an object of fixation to the extent that it may interfere with complete sexual expression.


So, basically, no-one but you seems to limit their definition of a fetish to only include inanimate objects.
Or, in other words, you're wrong.
