ʻO ka huaʻōlelo "fetishism" mai nā Pukiki ʻike ʻo ia hoʻi he mea hana, spell, spell. ʻIke ʻia i ka ʻōlelo Farani i ka XNUMXth kenekulia ma lalo o ke alakaʻi ʻana a De Brosses¹. Hoʻonāukiuki ʻia e kēia mau mea i mahalo ʻia e nā lāhui ʻApelika, kapa ʻia he fetishes, hoʻokumu ʻo ia i ka huaʻōlelo e kūpono i ka hoʻomana.

« Noi wau e ʻae ʻia wau e hoʻohana maʻamau i kēia huaʻōlelo, a ʻoiai ma ke ʻano kūpono e pili pono ana i ka manaʻo o nā Negroes o ʻApelika, ke aʻo mua nei wau e manaʻo wau e hoʻohana. ke kamaʻilio nei no kekahi lāhui ʻē aʻe i nā holoholona kahi mea hoʻomana a holoholona a holoholona ola ʻole i hoʻomana ʻia e ke akua; ʻoiai e kamaʻilio ana i kekahi manawa i kekahi mau lāhui nona nā mea o kēia ʻano i emi iki o nā akua i kāhea ʻia, ma mua o nā mea i hāʻawi ʻia me kahi mana akua, oracles, amulets, and preservative talismans ".

I ka hoʻomaka mua o ke kenekulia XNUMXth, ʻaʻole kuhikuhi hou ka huaʻōlelo "fetishist" i ka mea ukali i kahi hoʻomana kahiko, akā no ka «Perversion» kēia manawa, i ke ʻano o ka anomaly, kahi moe kolohe. Hoʻohilohi ka ʻae o ka manawa hou, e hōʻike nei ma laila i kahi pono semantic incontestable. Ua hoʻohuli ʻia ka hoʻohana ʻana o kahi "mea" i kahi pahuhopu moekolohe no ka manawa lōʻihi akā ʻaʻole i kapa pololei ʻia ia inoa. 

Hoʻonohonoho ʻia e like me kahi maʻi o ka makemake moekolohe ma ka International Statistics Classical of Diseases and Related Health Problems, "fetishism" hoʻonoho ʻia ma waena o "sadomasochism" a me exhibismism. Hoʻohālikelike ʻia e ka predilection i haʻi ʻia no kekahi ʻāpana o ke kino o kekahi, no nā ʻano kino a noʻonoʻo paha aiʻole no nā mea olaʻole, ka lole pinepine. Eia ka papa inoa o nā mea maʻamau.

- Ka umauma, ka ihu, nā lima, nā moena;

- ka lauoho lauoho, ka nui o ke kino, nāwaliwali, pilau;

- Nā hainaka, nā kāmaʻa, nā pō pō, nā pancake kanikau;

- Nā wāwae, waha, ʻaʻahu, etc.

- Ke ʻano o nā mea: kaʻili, ka hopena, ka huluhulu.

E ala aʻe kēia mau mea, e ka hui, nā hiʻohiʻona ikaika o ka pilikino a hoʻokūkino i ka mana o ka sensation o ka leʻaleʻa wahine i ʻike ʻia.

ʻO nā kānaka āpau he "ʻoi aku a ʻoi aku paha fetishist" i ke aloha e like me Binet. Hoʻokaʻawale ʻo ia i "fetishism liʻiliʻi" mai "fetishism nui", ʻo ia ka pathological.

E hoʻomaka ke ʻano pathological ke "ke aloha o kekahi kikoʻī" i ka manawa o ka holoi ʻana i nā poʻe ʻē aʻe āpau. ʻO Max Dessoir ʻo: « ʻO ke aloha maʻamau iā mākou he symphony i hana ʻia me nā leo o nā ʻano like ʻole. Nā hopena mai nā ʻoliʻoli like ʻole. ʻO ia, no ka mea, haʻi aku, polytheist. Hoʻomaopopo wale ka fetishist i ka timbre o kahi mea kani hoʻokahi; hoʻokumu ʻia ia e kahi hauʻoli i hoʻoholo ʻia, he monotheistic ia. »

Hoʻohana ʻia ʻekolu mau huapalapala e hoʻololi i ka fetishism pathological :

- Ka pololei o ka laina fetishized: mālama mākou i kēia predilection no ke ola.

- Ka irresistibility o ka impulse

- Ke ʻano kū hoʻokahi o ka mea i ka hōʻoluʻolu moekolohe i ka maikaʻi o kona piha. 

Mai kinohi mai (kiʻi ʻia e ka moʻolelo o ka fetishist kaulana o ka "nightcap" nāna i hoʻopūʻiwa i kona makuakāne a me kona makuahine i nā moeʻuhane i ka makahiki o 5 i ka moena), ua kānalua nā psychiatrists i kekahi “Nā manaʻo aloha kamaliʻi ʻO ka wanaʻao e hoʻokani i kahi kuleana nui i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana o ka fetish.

ʻO nā hanana o ka wā kamaliʻi, ʻoi aku ma waena o 4 a me 6 mau makahiki, he mea nui i ke ʻano o kēia mau moe kolohe. 

Hiki ke ʻike ʻia ka fetishism pathological me ka paʻakikī no ka mea i hōʻeha ʻia a no ka hoa i loaʻa pinepine ka manaʻo o ke aloha ʻole ʻia iā ia holoʻokoʻa. ʻO nā hana hoʻomau a me nā kapu i koi ʻia e nā fetishist hiki ke hana i ka luhi o nā hoa.

No kēia mau kumu, hele kekahi i ka lāʻau psychiatric, nā kālaihana a i ʻole ka hoʻōla manaʻo. Pono kēia e kamaʻilio mua i kahi loio a loea paha. 

«ʻAʻohe mea iʻoi aku ka pōpilikia ma lalo o ka lā ma mua o kahi fetishist e makemake nei i kahi puki a pono e ʻoluʻolu me kahi wahine holoʻokoʻa. » Karl Kraus, Le Flambeau (The Torch), Iune 5, 1908, p. 25, ʻaʻohe 256.
