I've got to lend my support to what everyone else is saying here, Mr. M - fetishes are a perfectly normal and healthy aspect of living. You'll probably find that whatever negative remarks you hear being tossed around in their direction stem from their pertaining to an issue over which several people have some pretty extreme ideas as to what is socially acceptable and what isn't. But remember there is often a BIG difference between the impressions people strive to maintain of themselves and their actions when in public, and how they actually do act when they think no one's looking - I've generally found human beings to be a pretty insincere bunch.
