sexual disorder
1 any disorder involving sexual functioning, desire, or performance.
2
Etymology: DSM-IV
any such disorder that is caused at least in part by psychologic factors. Such a disorder characterized by a decrease or other disturbance of sexual desire is called a sexual dysfunction, and that characterized by unusual or bizarre sexual fantasies, urges, or practices is called paraphilia. Also called psychosexual disorder, psychosexual dysfunction.

I guess I'll ask you more directly: why is paedophilia not a fetish?
