Disambiguation
I was scared for a second there. I had adopted the page Sexuality to fix all disambiguation. I had checked it a few minutes ago and I see about 100 articles that linked there. I freaked out for a second, because I had just gone through and fixed all of the disambiguation the other day. Hopefully fixing the template got rid of all of the articles.

However, I am having a problem... There are 6 articles that keep showing up on the "Pages that link to Sexuality" page. I can not seem to find these links. If anyone could help, that would be greatly appreciated. They are:
Hmmm... probably should've gone here first before reverting. Oh well. Just to note right off the back, just because something is referred to as xxxphilia does not make it automatically a paraphilia.
Fetishes added + reasoning
Erotic spanking, those who have this as a fetish and not just a paraphilia are known as spankophiles and need some sort of spanking in order to enjoy sex. It's not just an added thing that turns them on it is necessary for their sexual pleasure and is a fetish for them.
Panty fetishism,Pantyhose fetishism, Stocking fetishism: I expanded from just underwear fetishism because most of these people don't have fetishes regarding the others e.g. a stocking fetishist probably won't be into panties, etc.
Autassassinophilia: I consider any paraphilia strong enough were you'd be willing to put your life at risk in order to experience it strong enough to be considered a fetish.
Exhibitionism: many exhibitionists need to do this and are compulsive about it to the point that it interferes with their lives and becomes a fetish.
Bimbo transformation: if this is anything like Forced feminization then it qualifies as a fetish seeing as how their are many people who fantasize solely about this and even to the point of adopting lifestyles around this.
Tamakeri, Omorashi: Japanese fetishes popular enough that they have spawned their own gameshows and genres.
This template is a mess. Sexual fetishism is defined as the "sexual arousal a person receives from a physical object"; this template contains many sexual activities that don't relate to objects, such as body parts (this is partialism). Should be completely redone IMO. Handcuffed (talk) 07:11, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
In the strict sense, you are completely correct. For the purpose of how fetishism is described on most of these pages, as well as the common English usage, the way it currently is is fine. These desires are named "fetishes" by the overwhelming majority of English speakers. Saying "Foot-fetish" is a common phrase, everyone knows what you mean. Only people educated on the origins of the word "Fetish" will acknowledge its original (Object-related) origin, as well as it's more medical definition. --Anonymous 6/13/2012 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.209.74.8 (talk) 20:59, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Common use of terms doesn't mean we should present them as the same as the established medical literature. After all, the Pedophilia article focuses on the medical definition/aspect...although it acknowledges common use of the term pedophilia. After thinking about this template matter for a couple of days, I removed these. More may need to be removed. I haven't yet studied the template even though it's been on my watchlist.

In the template box at the bottom of fetish related articles I have noticed there is the addition of "Second Skin" in 2 catagories(Clothing,Objects). The page for Spandex Fetishism exactly describes second skin fetishism. They are not different concepts as a result. The image for that page even is of a Zentai suit.
Recommendation:
Consider MERGING "Spandex fetishism" and the non-existant "Second Skin" pages since they both are the same thing. There doesn't need to be both.
It is listed on 18,000 people's pages on Fetlife, compared to 2,000 for erotic lactation and 300 for emetophilia, so I believe it belongs here.

Please add penis size as a body part fetish. People who prefer or insist on large penises are known as size queens. There are subcategories within size queens: length queens, girth queens, and large object insertions. 67.169.24.202 (talk) 05:33, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
