Ultimately, no one knows. Personally, I think humans are "programmed" to find all sorts of things sexual in order to increase the probability of intercourse, and therefore pregnancy. For example, a woman could wear red silk underwear to attract someone who might not ordinarily find her attractive. One bit of evidence for this is the emergence of a fetish for vinyl.

Not everyone has a fetish, or the fetish may be common enough that it's not considered unusual. For example, during the Victorian era, many men responded to exposed ankles the same way many men respond to exposed breasts now. (Remember the reaction to Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction"?)

People with fetishes find something that most of us would not find sexually arousing -- like vinyl -- triggers sexual impulses. Fetishes can spice up your sex life, or they can become obsessive. If the person you're sleeping with is less important that what they're wearing, the fetish is becoming obsessive. The idea is to control the fetish, not be controlled by it.
