I was told that Breastnexum is not a fetish site this is what the webster Dictionary says a fetish is.

webster Dictionary

fetish noun
variants also fetich fetish

an object or bodily part who's real or fantasized
presence is psychologically necessary for sexual
gratification and that is an object of fixation to
the extent that it may interfere with complete
sexual expression

fetishism psychology
Also known as: fetich, fetish
Related Topics: human sexual activity
Fetishism and the social value of objects fetishism, in psychology,
a form of sexual deviance involving erotic attachment
to an inanimate object or an ordinarily asexual part of the human body
like breast

The term fetishism was actually borrowed from anthropological writings in
which “fetish” (also spelled fetich) referred to a charm thought to contain
magical or spiritual powers. Its influence on psychiatric usage is indicated
by Sigmund Freud’s reference, in his Three Contributions to the Theory of Sex,
to the sexual object of the fetishist as being comparable to “the fetich in
which the savage sees the embodiment of his god.”

Fetishism as a mental condition may be defined as the necessity to use a
Non genital object in order to achieve sexual gratification. The object may
be some other body part, an article of clothing, or, less frequently, some
more impersonal object. The condition occurs almost exclusively among men,
and most of the objects used relate to the female body or female clothing.
Long hair or the foot may be the primary object of sexual attention, cases
in which a certain hair color or type of body blemish is required for sexual
stimulation is also generally classified as fetishism. The articles of
clothing most commonly used are shoes and items of female underclothes.
female breast factory sensations are also frequently important.

an object or bodily part whose real or fantasied presence is psychologically
necessary for sexual gratification and that is an object of fixation to the
extent that it may interfere with complete sexual expression like having
big breast

any and all photo posted to this site will bring sick people to this site, I can tell you
they are already here as one of my breast photos I posted has been downloaded 283 times one other
has been downloaded 188 times and my last photo is at 116 times, If the photos were
downloaded by members I have to wonder WHY, but I would say most were downloaded by people
that are not members just people that get off on seeing male breast or female breast so, you should
know that any photos you post of your breast, or any photos could be downloaded by people you do
not want them to have. if you want to see how many time your photo was downloaded do this,
when this site loads you will see a little green box in the upper left side of your screen that says
(user CP) in the box click on it after that page loads go down and find where it says
(Attachments Manage)
click on it and it will show your photos and how many times they were downloaded

I talk to a psychiatrist about this and sent her a link to this site and she look at this site and
said that this site is a fetish site. this psychiatrist has been a doctor for over 30 years.
I am sure that this will make some people mad or upset but if you can't handle the truth that is on you
and I do not need to hear any crap for telling the truth as (I was told that Breastnexum is not a fetish site)
so, I needed to find the truth about what A fetish is, this is what I found. and I say this site is a Fetish site

I ask Administrator Eve to remove all photos I posted here; I want to thank Eve for removing every photo I posted here THANK YOU Eve!!!

Just to clarify: when you add a photo as attachment a preview is created. When people click on the preview and the image opens full size, that is considered a "download" by the engine of this website. It doesn't mean that the photo was saved on someone's hard drive, but simply that it was transferred to the user's browser.

Regarding the fetish/non fetish nature of this website, I am sure that some people come here to get excited by breasts on genetic males. Personally I don't care what people do with my photos as long as they don't re-post them elsewhere. I think that the vast majority of people here has some sort of genuine interest in growing breasts and use the site as a source of information.
As to why people grow breasts, be it a fetish or the need to align their body with their soul, I don't think that it's anyone's right to jdge.

Surely you questioning is it fetish or not is more a reflection on your own internal conflicts, which box does it fit in? 

Admittedly though this is perfectly normal human nature as our primary instinct is to decide is it safe or unsafe, no one can decide that for you so you alone need to work it out and decide for yourself.

I'd hazard a guess your psychiatrist just did a quick skim to reach their conclusion, the reason I say that is simply because the sheer number of posts with all the science/regimes in them; any casual visitor will simply see boobs, boobs and more boobs!

If you agree with your psychiatrist, then fine, for you its a fetish site. 

Admittedly for some others it is a fetish too, just read the over sexualised posts tells you this much, but thankfully the site is on the whole is very good at self-regulating. I've had to block a few members to avoid such posts, if I wanted sexualised/fetish content I'd jump on a porn site thanks!

If it's not fetish then why are we all on here, what's our intent, goals, etc?

I'd say the vast majority are here for the science and the journey, be that simply breast growth, feminisation or transition. Each journey and needs is different, but ultimately for many it's a vital life saving journey to live the life they desire, bringing happiness, clarity and health.

With respect to photo's, it is the same for any online platform - privacy! As such I asked Eve who very kindly shifted my main HRT post into the members only section, where I am happy for only members to see my pics. 

The main reason I use the site is for the science the friendship and celebrating the journeys that each of us are on, it's a great and friendly community.

Good luck with your journey.

Wee2er hit the nail on the head, as well as Shirazmn.

This site is what you want to make of it. The intent of BN is to help men and at times their spouses, in terms of male breast growth and/or feminization. We, the main audience, do not come here for sexual gratification, we are here for self improvement and/or to try and solve an underlying problem with who we are inside, male, female or somewhere in between.

So, Divil if you are here for your own sexual gratification, I guess that's on you. My intent is not to gratify your sexual desires, my intent is to tell others of my experience with NBE Aand feminization. I may suggest that there are better site's for you if you are interested in sexual gratification, there are a plethora of free and paid porn sites for you to choose from on the www.
Respectfully,

[Tommie]

Wee2er & Tomi66, very good replies on the subject. For me, as fairly new on the forum, this is definitely not a fetish site.

[prostatenipple]

Would it be bad to have a fetish for this and also feel trans and wanting breasts?

I feel a general unease about there being such restrictions, like we have to conform to someone else's idea of what we should be.
I felt like that when one of the posters in another thread was bashing someone else (I think they were an admin?), and perhaps not for the first time.
Was not inclusive, I felt.

And now we hear that 45 minutes ago, Hungary passed an amendment targeting LGBTQ+ groups, restricting their rights. More restrictions!

Surely if we are all here under genuine and earnest motivations, it shouldn't matter if it's also a fetish for some people here.

[tomi66]

Prostatenipple,
There's nothing wrong with having a fetish and a desire to feminize or grow breasts. This site is for support and learning about breast enhancement, porn sites are a place to explore your fetish that fulfills your sexual desires.

You wouldn't go to a bar for an alcoholics anonymous meeting, nor would you go to AA for a drink. It's probably a bad comparison, but it's all I got.

[Vana_B]

Surely if we are all here under genuine and earnest motivations, it shouldn't matter if it's also a fetish for some people here.

I also agree this site is more of an education site, and certainly not a fetish or porn site.

I do however feel that MY NBE journey is based on a personal fetish. From an early age,  I have always enjoyed nipple play during sex, even to the point of rather intense pain.  I played with nipple suckers,  even sleeping with them overnight.  Purely fetish at that time.

Over the years,  my nipples had become very large and pronounced, even getting stares and comments when shirtless, even before I had any boobs at all.  I always showed them proudly and even felt turned on by people looking at my chest. So perhaps an exhibitionist fetish mixed in.   

I feel my interest in NBE is a continuation of that fetish.   My main desire was to make my nipples more sensitive and areolas a bit bigger.  As I started to get a bit of boob growth, my fetish has evolved into me picturing myself as a woman, mainly just during sex. 

My fetish is strong enough I am willing to modify my body to pursue it.   It has grown beyond just a nipple fetish and now more of a feminization fetish as my skin has become soft and smooth,  my butt and hips a bit bigger and my body has become virtually hairless.  

I'm still far to much male to look anything like a woman, or consider transitioning.     I am thrilled with my softer more feminine body and have a strong desire to continue down this path.   For me it's a total turn on, so is it still just a fetish at this point?

It's not so much about the blurring & twisting of the definition of the word fetish, as it was the overt fantasization that was permeating this website.

But it was rampant fantasy posts that got out of hand and were frankly gross. 99% of all posts talking about masturbation & orgasm by an octogenarian member. That's gross.

Countless fantasy posts from various members to another about what they'd like to do sexually to another member. That's triple gross.

Sure, there is a fetish aspect to what (I) do. I was already a longtime cross dresser before I started my "journey". That's a definite fetish.

A huge portion of transgender women have autogynephilia. That's completely fetish. But when a portion of our members sole reason for being here is to make subtle fantasy posts, then there in-lies the controversy.

Breast Nexum is not a Fantasy website.

[Divil]

Frist off I did not say this site is a fetish site please read the post and what the post is about,
(What a fetish is by Webster Dictionary) I came to this site in hopes in getting help to grow
my breast. I have had 1 person send me massages that hinted of wanting to get to gather for
sex and I block them I am not here for anything to do with sex if I wanted that type of thing
I would go to porn sites I came here to find ways to make my breast grow for myself only.

I was told that Breastnexum is not a fetish site by two posters
in a very rude and unkind way, and that is why I look up what a
fetish is and made this post, and I have knowing from age 10 I had
wanting my breast to grow and was ask by
2 psychiatrist 1 at age 12 years old and 1 at 29 years old if I
though this could be just a fetish both times I said NO.
I went to the psychiatrist at 29 years old so I could start
HRT and after 13 months of seeing her I was doing the HRT
treatment.

I did not say this site is a fetish site I said
at the top of the first post
(what a fetish is by Webster Dictionary)
and what a psychiatrist doctor said about this site

copy and paste from wee2er post
(Surely you questioning is it fetish or not is more a reflection
on your own internal conflict.) Thank you for your input I can tell
you I have never had any type of conflict but A few of my
girlfriends did they did not last very long

As I have wanted breast from the time, I was 10 years old and now
I am 65 years old I have tried a lot of things to make them grow
I have never had a conflict about wanting big breast that is why
I came to this site for way to make them grow.
