摘要

Pardon the personal question, but have you ever had a sexual fantasy involving the use of a nonliving object―Anna Kournikova's tennis outfit, say, or Tom Cruise's Risky Business skivvies?

She might diagnose you with fetishism, which is listed along with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in a curious but extremely influential book called the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM for short.
