Q:

This may sound really stupid, but I really wanna know.

I have this fetish, and I really don't want to, but it started as a kid. I didn't know what it was then, but I do now. And I really wanna get rid of it. It is a sexual fetish, and I don't want my partner to know, because it is ...embarrassing. Is there a way to change your sexual fetish? It turns me on, but I don't want it to. And I don't want to share it with my boyfriend. Can I learn a new fetish? How do you change something that turns you on?

 

A:

You can have therapy that can desensitize you to your responsiveness to certain stimuli. It does take a therapist with expertise in sexual therapy to be most effective in a treatment program, so you can consult with the Counseling Center on campus about an off-campus referral once fall quarter starts.
