Actually, this is very prevalent in the leather community. There are people called "Bootblacks" who are very much into the bootblacking (or polishing) fetish. They will set up in a corner of a leather bar and shine your boots for tips, and there is even a Mr. Internaional Bootblack title that goes on as part of the IML weekend.

I think most people have an interest that others would consider unusual. God knows I've got a shopping list full of them. I met someone once who had a carrying fetish. He liked to be carried around on anohter person's shoulders, like to carry others around and liked to read and write stories in which carrying took place.
