🧵 Evolution behind Fetishism

Consider, for a moment, if you will, that about a third of men and a tenth of women have a sexual fetish. Also, consider, if you will, that a good portion of these are aroused by strange things, such as, in no particular order:
Feet, navels, hair, muscles, mouths, body hair, shoes, underwear, leather, rubber, urine, feces, breast milk, pacifiers, diapers, asphyxiation, torture, bodily harm, everything BDSM related, disability, mind control, balloons, zoo animals, plushies, fur, hats, baths, filth, and lastly floor tiles.
Now, why would it make sense, from Darwinian evolution's point-of-view, to have such a significant subset of the human population be more aroused by non-copulatory behaviour than actual copulatory behavior?
Some fetishes are so unbelievably astray from typical sexual behaviour, they are seen as extremely taboo, turning away any potential mates. Also, observe, if you will, the significantly smaller portion of the female sex who has a fetish compared to males.
I hypothesize that fetishism is as prevalent as it is due to the fact that natural selection has created a vary wide variety of sexual behaviours, and the most advantageous ones have been rewarded most, such as breast fetishism, which is not present in all societies. As for why foot fetishism is so widespread, I don't have the faintest idea. Perhaps it has a hidden evolutionary advantage. As for taboo or counter-productive fetishes, such as zoophilia, I feel these fetishes have been mingling in the general population for a significant period of humanities existence, yet they were not revealed to potential mates and society as a whole during a specific humans lifespan, and so as they reproduce the fetish slowly creeps through the population and is passed down solely by chance.
I am open to other possible theories.

It's a fallacy to assume characteristic is there "for a reason".

There is no reason. It's a hardware/software failure.

Hmm. I'm noticing a trend in your list, OP. You wouldn't happen to be a faggot, would you?

Not all human behaviors are hard coded.
Sexual arousal gets associated with things as a learned Connection so we figure out how Sex and mate Selektion works
„Mmm pussy feel good“
Only the Human Brain can associate Lots of shit with it’s pattern matching skills
„Intended“ pathway (there’s no real intentionality in nature)
Girl make grug feel funny > girl have vagina > vagina hot > want put cock in vagina
„Faulty“ pathway
Girl hot > only girls wear high heels > high heels hot > want dick to get stomped on

I'd like to see you do a similar chain for torture or some other completely extreme fetish. Explain that chud.

It's symptomatic of a behavioral sink.

So the characteristic of anger has no use? What about loving someone in a relationship? I guess that has no reason either.
What soulless people you are. Science litterally has ruined your brain

I'm a furry vore gooner, AMA, for science of course. Feel free to talk about your own weird interests for eachothers' study.

The inexplicable fetishes could be byproducts of some other slightly positive genetic traits.
For example, male homosexuality is theorized to be caused by genes that increase fertilities while in a female, the effects those genes cause in males are byproducts of that.
