Yeah, not so much a fetish as "having a thing for," like cheerleaders or nurses.
Isn't that what a fetish is?
Technically, yes, but "fetish" has the implication that what you're into is questionable or shameful in some way by current societal standards.
actually technically,
fet·ish   [fet-ish, fee-tish]
noun
1.
an object regarded with awe as being the embodiment or habitation of a potent spirit or as having magical potency.
2.
any object, idea, etc., eliciting unquestioning reverence, respect, or devotion: to make a fetish of high grades.
3.
Psychology . any object or nongenital part of the body that causes a habitual erotic response or fixation.
The definition you are looking for is that third one.
That being said OT: I don't find any of my fetishes to be peculiar. Just usual tie me up and hurt me kinds of fetishes.
I have a thing for hipbones but it doesn't necessarily cause an erotic response it just makes me go "yum".
Oh and my slight fetish for Scottish accents. Glasgow especially......
