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.
