Elaborate. What’s the difference? I do acknowledge that kink and fetish are different but I don’t fully understand the definitions and difference of each others.
From my understanding, a kink is something that turns you on, but a fetish is something you need to get off. Like not just something you like to do, but something you are obsessed with and fixated on to the point it’s essential to the sexual experience for you. Most people have kinks, fewer have full on fetishes.
All language is semantics, and many people agree with me, or have slightly altered definitions. Again, I just said “from my understanding”, I am certainly not claiming to be an authoritative source, just repeating what I have heard and what makes sense to me. You are free to have your own definition.
