>>489148 Is correct. An "orientation" is a categorical construct that has been created to define relations between partners in a binary species, and any overlaps.
A fetish is the description of a dubbed-as "erotic" scenario that does not necessarily, though usually is considered to, exist within a specific orientation. While orientations are defined to be immutable, on one hand, there can be many fetishes and they can suddenly overlap in unexpected ways. You can't be "gay" and "straight" at the same time and NOT be "bisexual," but you can like "giantess(es)" and "insertion" but NOT like "unbirthing" (which implies full reintroduction to the womb).
Another example, in some SM (shrinking man) stories, when approached by a normal-sized male, the miniscule male will often cite, for whatever reason, that he is not gay.
