Arousal from non-living objects or a highly specific focus on non-genital body parts; does not include cross-dressing.

• A. Fetishistic Disorder
• B. Transvestic Disorder
• C. Sexual Masochism Disorder
• D. Fetishistic Behavior without Fetishistic Disorder

Answer: (A)

Fetishistic Disorder involves recurrent sexual arousal from non-living objects or from a highly specific focus on a non-genital body part, with the pattern persistent and causing distress or impairment. The scenario fits because the arousal is linked to non-living objects or non-genital body parts and there is no cross-dressing described. Transvestic Disorder would center on cross-dressing as the primary source of arousal, which isn’t present here. Sexual Masochism Disorder focuses on arousal from being humiliated or subjected to pain, and Fetishistic Behavior without Fetishistic Disorder refers to fetish interests that don’t meet full disorder criteria (e.g., no distress/impairment). So Fetishistic Disorder is the best match.
