If you are into plus size women (fat, bbw) do you consider it a fetish or simply a preference?
It is a preference. A fetish can only be about a physical item, not a person or body type. A paraphillia is when a situation or time must be present in order for the individual to achieve sexual gratification (usually orgasm).
Although I'm not into "plus size (fat, bbw) women" I would imagine those who are would not consider it to be a "fetish" anymore than those men who are attracted to thin/fit women.
The word "fetish" is usually attributed to a specific body part like (feet) or even an item like (shoes). I've never heard it used in conjunction with a whole physical being of a person.
Fetish is also used to describe people who have somewhat "freaky"/"abnormal" desires or they're possibly in need of some help.
Thankfully we live on a planet with over 7 Billion people! Odds are in everyone's favor that no matter what size, height, color, or shape we are someone considers us to be "their type"!
One man's opinion!
Anything that is a category is a fetish. BBW is a category, just like redheads or midgets. Check out the websites for it. If you like the personality of a particular BBW, that's a different story. If you single them out as a category only, that's a fetish.
Fetish - "a form of sexual desire in which gratification is linked to an abnormal degree to a particular object, item of clothing, part of the body, etc." That doesn't sound like weight, height, skin color and so on to me. Those are preferences:)
