fetishist
Fixated on things
A fetishist is someone with a fetish—an unusually strong attachment to a particular object, body part, or activity, especially one that provides sexual arousal.
The term applies broadly to anyone fixated on something specific: a shoe fetishist, a latex fetishist.
Outside sexual contexts, it can describe obsessive devotion: a fetishist for vintage typewriters.
