Hello, my name is Arin Johnson. I am emailing in regards to a serious fetish I have. The fetish is my nose touching the jaw area or cheek on a woman’s face. When I see the softness or the glow on her face, I get very aroused. The 3 main ways I get aroused is, 1) my nose actually touching a woman’s cheek or jaw area, 2) me fantasizing about a woman’s cheek or jaw area getting Nuzzled or touched by a guys nose, and 3) me fantasizing about times my nose touched a woman’s cheek or jaw area whether I initiated it or she did. I cannot get an arousal unless there is atleast 1 out of these 3 things. I want to know is there any way for me to get aroused by a woman just from her vagina and just the thought of us having sex or just seeing her naked? My fetish with prone positioned masturbation has caused some sexual dysfunction

If the disorder comes and goes, how often does it come and how long will it last for before it goes away? Also will it go away without treatment?

What are your thoughts about the ICD Revision 11 coming out in 2018 where fetishism is no longer listed as a disorder (F65.0 deleted)? Along with transvestic fetishism, it is not listed as a mental disorder in the Paraphilias section of the manual and was removed from the second entirely.
