fetishists

Fixated on objects

Fetishists are people with fetishes—strong fixations on specific objects, body parts, or situations as sources of sexual arousal or psychological fascination.

The term applies both to sexual contexts foot fetishists, latex fetishists and to intense non-sexual devotions: vinyl fetishists who insist on analog sound.

The word carries no inherent judgment, though it sometimes implies obsessiveness.
