I'd be surprised if there was any way of telling whether foot and footwear fetishism is hereditary or acquired. By the time it emerges, an individual has had some years at least of nurture, of experience, of influence. It may be some consolation to know that in various forms these fetishes seem to be quite common. When, in the 1960s, what already then were called 'kinky boots' (for women) came on to the market they were immensely popular. Also bear in mind that it's all harmless (unless it develops into an all-consuming obsession). Joncey There's a fairly long article on 'Sexual Fetishism' in Wikipedia. See the second link below.

Is it strange to have a snoring fetish?
no it's not strange to have a snoring fetish, and if people do say it's weird, it's none of their business any way.
What is a sneeze fetish?
A sneeze fetish is when you like when people sneeze around you. It may or may not turn you on, but you like the way a sneeze sounds or even looks. The intense build-up to a sneeze is almost orgasmic, and people say that a sneeze is just 1/8 of an orgasm.
Is it okay if you have a foot fetish?
As long as no one gets hurt, no one does anything without consent, and you don't make anyone trip on their way to communion, you're good to go.
Why do people have a male foot fetish?
If you mean "why do some men have a male foot fetish" then this is a good question, and a surprisingly common phenomenon in straight men! I am a gay guy, and have a foot fetish myself, so I have come across lots of straight men who have massive fetishes for male feet despite being into women! I am no psycologist, but (according to experts) most foot fetishes are said to stem from the experiences/discoveries of an infant, which (when pleasurable or non threatening/comforting) forms a subconcious bond or connection to a specific object/or thing. If you think about it, a fetish starts in much the same way as a phobia which is just as irrational, but associated with fear/discomfort instead of pleasure/comfort. A lot of people will forget the trigger/occasion that began a fetish or phobia during infancy, but the brain will still be "wired up" to respond to the certain object with feelings of love and infatuation, or fear. The foot fetish may come from curiosity of the infants own feet, or another present male (his father, grandad, older brother etc) way before sexuality even really matters to a boy, or indeed, way before an infant boy even comes to realise what sex he is conciously. For this reason I believe that as a boy grows up, the infatuation with feet remains something which, in his mind, is an exception to the stigma's of gender or sexuality depending on how the initial experience played out during that early stage of infancy. This was just my theory, but I hope this kinda helps
What influences sex arousal?
Lots of things can make someone sexually aroused, you just need to know them and find out what they like and dislike alot of people have fetishes and using this fetish makes them very aroused. I have a fetish by the way.
What are the differences in the way men have a fetish and the way women have a fetish?
Men's fetishes are more likely to involve visual stimuli, apparently. But both men and women can focus on the same things. There's no such thing as a fetish that is exclusive to one sex.
Is there a way to get rid of a fetish?
Talk to a counselor or therapist. They can help you sort through your feelings and help you get the fetish under control.
How to stop a foot fetish?
Ultimately, no one knows. Personally, I think humans are "programmed" to find all sorts of things sexual in order to increase the probability of intercourse, and therefore pregnancy. For example, a woman could wear red silk underwear to attract someone who might not ordinarily find her attractive. One bit of evidence for this is the emergence of a fetish for vinyl. Not everyone has a fetish, or the fetish may be common enough that it's not considered unusual. For example, during the Victorian era, many men responded to exposed ankles the same way many men respond to exposed breasts now. (Remember the reaction to Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction"?) People with fetishes find something that most of us would not find sexually arousing -- like vinyl -- triggers sexual impulses. Fetishes can spice up your sex life, or they can become obsessive. If the person you're sleeping with is less important that what they're wearing, the fetish is becoming obsessive. The idea is to control the fetish, not be controlled by it.
What is a pantyhose fetish and how do you know if you have one?
A "Fetish" or "Fetisch" means you have a desire for something that is way above a usual 'setting'. The best definition I have heard of a 'fetish' is : "Fetish means you can not perform (sexually) with out it." So, if you have a "Pantyhose Fetish", that means that you can ONLY perform sexually when Pantyhose are involved. If you physically do not *NEED* Pantyhose involved but really really have a strong desire for silky Pantyhose, then you have a great "Passion" for sexy Pantyhose and not a 'fetish'.
Does everybody have a fetish?
I wouldn't say "everybody" but most people have fetishes, considering a fetish is something that causes "erotic behaviour" it isn't that different. Think about it this way, everybody has a preference whether it be breasts, butt, feet or body type. When they see what they prefer it can cause "erotic behaviour."
What is a Fetish?
A fetish is a fondness or liking for something in particular, that may, or may not be very common; some people have a foot fetish, where they love to rub or have their feet rubbed.The word is often used to mean any unusual sexual practice, preference, or obsession that involves sexual identification, objects, or roles.Traditionally, some psychologists have claimed that fetishists are 'in love' with the fetish object (such as rubber or whatever) instead of the person. However, fetishism may not be that extreme. Very often it's simply a way of spicing things up.However:If the fetish interferes with your daily life, or if you cannot have a sexual relationship without involving the fetish, you might want to talk to a counselor. The idea is to control the fetish, not let it control you!In DetailAs above, a Fetish is a object, thing or situation that causes sexual arousal, such as a specific type of clothing, footware, sexual or non-sexual act or situation like "having sex outside."A true fetish in psychology terms is a thing (as above) that needs to be present for sexual satisfaction to be achieved. This describes a type of mental illness. But the usual use of the word fetish just refers to an affinity for something specific, not an absolute need for it. Normally it is something other than accepted mainstream sexual practices.
