  • Uh, it depends on their sexual orientation, which isn't directly related to their fetishes.

    • What about people who only are sexually attracted to objects only? Do they even count? That is related if they are not attracted to people.

      • If they're only sexually attracted to objects, then none of the sexual orientations you named apply, unless they're romantically attracted to people. If that's the case, then their orientation depends on their romantic attractions.

        • But if they weren't attracted to people... Wouldn't that make them asexual?

          • It would make them aromantic, but I'm not sure how you would classify their sexuality. Ask them, I suppose. I think they could reasonably identify as asexual, though.

            • Well they still have sexual desire but not actually with a person. So I not sure if its asexual since they indeed have strong sexual desires.

          • If you lack a sex drive or have very little and no motivation to have it with anyone or anything you are asexual. Most of these people have a very strong lust or sexual sensation to objects. So I do not believe that is the case.

            • I think they have their orientation on the side of the fetish. People with foot fetish only get turned on by the object, not the person it belongs to. If a male was turned on by the sight of male genitalia, then.. uhm.. Seen from one perspective, it's just the object, not the person turning him on. Then again.. eh..
