If this isn't AI generated I'll eat my hat. It's incredibly short and not worth the price tag. It lacks any detail, specificity or examination. Each "chapter" is about 20 sentences. There is no working definition of the concept of "fetish" so it just reads like a list of clothing items that gay men have found sexy over the years. There's no exploration of what exactly makes each thing a fetish item, what appeals to the fetishist, or what evidence there is in gay art or writing that shows its significance.

It's straight up garbage and the author is a hack.
