I think it's 100% normal to have a Fetish. Many men have different types of Fetishes.
I also, find women's legs arousing. One thing that I found that helps me and I'm pretty sure it's written somewhere in Chazal is to try to uglify what you find attractive. So for example, if I see a woman in pantyhose, I try to picture that under those pantyhose her legs are hairy, and that her feet are dirty and filled with dry skin.

I think you didn't understand completely my main question. I completely understand that there's such a thing of "fetishes", and that is pretty normal. What bothers me is that I have the same fetish for men as well, (and no, I don't think I'm SSA, although I might enjoy looking at a nak*d man, but I would be "farekeled" to do something with a man - bH), so I have this nisayon even in bhm"d. My eyes would search under the tables to look for somebody taking off or dangling his shoe (!!, sounds crazy right??, believe me I feel horrible about it), this has been going on since I'm a kid (tens of years). In fact the beginning of my PM problem has been only thinking and fantasizing of friends in yeshiva dangling their shoes (how crazy, right??!!), if I Wouldn't have the problem by men I wouldn't come to any addictions whatsoever, since I was a very ehrliche bochur to begin with, it's only after I got hooked up with the above that it "shlepped" me to other stuff, that's on what I was wondering if somebody can relate to this. Anyway, thank you for your reply.

I did not have this specific challenge but I totally understand it. I hope you realize that the thoughts and urges are absolutely not something to feel guilty about. You didn’t ask for them and you don’t want them. The challenge now is how to overcome/move on from those thoughts.

some of the experiences I write about may make it easier to identify me.  This is ok.  I trust that if anyone discovers my identity they will keep it to themselves.  If you do realize that you  know me, I am completely comfortable and welcome you acknowledging me and my struggle in person.

If you visit the Flight to Freedom program there are tools called the Cure tracker, Urge Surfing and a few more in Lesson 3 that can help you keep track of your triggers, the cues and the effects they cause on you as well as different urges. Believe me, whatever you may struggle with becomes easier as it gets under control.

Now that you describe it more, i probably had that when i was young, maybe even now a bit. Is your issue that you are worried that you are crazy, or how to deal with the taava? With more clarity, easier to deal with it.

I can bring you one hundred people who have the same thing with feet, then you will be fine? I don't actually know who has what, but i still think you are 100% fine..

No, my concern is not if I'm normal, I know 100%+ that I am, I bH have alot of friends, I'm popular, and have bH a beautiful family. My concern is that these stupid taavos (which are 100% muter) escalate me to assur taavos, I'm addicted to look at them, it arouses me and then bring me to assur taavos. My problem is that I find them everywhere - even in shul! imagine! I don't have any idea how to free myself of that.

Have you tried therapy? I assume any good therapist should be able to help you with this issue, maybe to train the brain to change its thought process/ pathways and reaction.
