What's the difference between a fetish and a preference?

Question

I like Asian women to the point I want to date one and marry one.

Is that a preference or a fetish?

Answer 1

It's a fetish if the subject is an object, body part, specific behaviour etc...

It's a preference if it's a human.

Answer 2

preference.

if you only like her when she is wearing gold shoes, thats a fetish.

Preference.

A fetish is a sexual inclination wherein you find it difficult to enjoy s*x at all if you didn't have access to it.

Answer 4

It's just a preference.

Answer 5

A fetish is an overconsuming obsession so to speak. A preference is a general comfort and liking of something.
