Uh, you'd best define 'Fetish'... and 'normal'...

Maybe let's rephrase...

Do the majority of relationships involve one or both partners where an inanimate object causes one or both partners sexual arousal that is mandatory for their sexual pleasure?

The answer is 'no'... statistically, (a real) fetish is somewhat rare. Again, it's important to understand words here. A man with a shoe fetish MUST have a shoe present in his sexual play to be able to get off. Most people simply enjoy a bit of play with things that may be out of some peoples norm (like sex toys), but that's not a fetish.

Now if you meant to ask, is it OK for me and my lovers to engage in some hot sexual acts that I've not engaged in before? Heck YES! So long as you're OK with it and you're partner is considerate in their play with you.

C. Grant agony auntFor some people a "fetish" is anything beyond missionary with the lights out. You really need to be a bit more specific. Usually people ask this question when they're being asked to do something they're not comfortable with.

Geez, Yankit, you're not giving me lots of hope here.

It depends on the couple involved. If one is a freak and the other is a "missionary", there might be problems.

However, if both parties enjoy foot worship, diapers or sex in church confession booths or whatever, kudos to them.

Normalcy is relative, my dear. Thank Gawd for that!

They can be. It depends on what the fetish is. Clearly you or anyone else would need to be comfortable dealing with it. But other than that, they're normal.
