    I dunno, is it fetishization to be turned on by a nude person of the gender you’re attracted to? Seems healthy to me, tbh. (not that fetishes are unhealthy, I just mean they are acquired whereas naked people turning us on seems innate for most)

      No that isn’t the issue, but the desire to see those areas usually covered with fabric, or those covered by L-shaped duvets in media is. Tits and vaginas/penises aren’t that more special than other parts of the anatomy, but our tendency to cover them up and vulnerability toward having others see them is a societal construct.

      This means that seeing those parts is more sexually laden, thus very commonly fetishized. It’s not unhealthy, but it is a bit weird. Take n Janet Jackson’s nip slip for instance, or that gore is more normalized than people’s bodies.

        Yes they absolutely are.

        I asked if this was actually fetishization, a question worth asking, and you just insisted that it was to be taken for granted to be so and that it’s a “problem”.
