Removing a fetish?

I've seen a wide assortment of files catering to specific fetishes on this website, however I do not believe there is one on here that does the opposite.

Fetishes are picked up and reinforced over the span of a lifetime, which then I assume makes it hard to directly effect, but is it possible to reverse this? Removing the potency of said fetish?

I'll come out of retirement to address this.

A file I did for a "customer" called Femdom Only was meant to ensure that a listener only got off on dominant female and submissive male porn. So, it would remove a person's fetish for women being dominated.

The "customer" said it worked pretty well.

So from what you were saying, you 'removed' the person's fetish by replacing it with a new one?
I can see how those suggestions may work,
by associating one situation for the other, the new replaces the old. The new desires reinforce themselves.

Interesting,
Yet the mind doesn't forget and eliminate all the old experiences, does it?
Does this in any way make it foolproof?

I'll add another question:

Have you ever witnessed a relapse? Or experienced one? Did you do anything to reaffirm? What?

Not really. I removed a fetish and strengthened a different fetish, and established in his mind that they were mutually exclusive.

He said that it was pretty effective, but he did stop listening for a while, and the effects may have dissipated slightly. I personally have not used this file, so I cannot speak to it's effects personally, other than what my client reported back to me.

I removed a fetish with self hypnosis. It was a major fetish and it took many years. Yeah, it's still down there somewhere, but it scarcely registers and my sexuality has changed dramatically.

Since then, I've had lots of experience changing this and that and I've found that this stuff is quite malleable. It's easier I think to transform something into something similar, e.g., if you had a latex fetish, it would likely be easier to change it to a leather fetish than to get rid of it entirely. This is because fetishes are typically acquired in childhood, when we imprint typically on the mother or -- a side effect of being human -- her clothing or accoutrements. (Latex, metal = baby bottles, leather = purses, high heeled shoes and stockings = clothing, etc.) If a fetish is important sexually there may well be a psychodynamic reason for that and it is probably easiest just to change it to another one because it's there for a reason.

If you want to be less fetishistic and more into body parts (it is the body part imprinting mechanism that is at work here), you could try one of the sexual orientation files with suggestions to like breasts, etc.

Overall, I think it's very doable.
