Hi there, BillyRainbowKid- welcome to the boards!
Don't worry, this seems healthy and okay. A good rule of thumb for these kinds of questions is that if the behavior in question does not hurt anyone, it is not a problem. As I understand it, this doesn't seem to be hurting you or anyone else, so it doesn't need to be changed. Could this cause problems for you? Perhaps, but only because you might find yourself feeling aroused at inconvenient times- people with more conventional sexual interests can also experience that. Does this make sense?
I should mention that your interest in laughter isn't a fetish. A fetish is an object that causes a person to feel sexual desire- fetishes are not behaviors, preferences, or uncommon kinks. So this is just something you like, and that is okay!

Hi BillyRainbowKid,
I find that the word "preference" or even just "a like" is what people are often searching for when they use "fetish" or even "kink," since what they're describing is something that they enjoy sexually.
As far as masturbation goes, "normal" is honestly one of those concepts that isn't all that helpful. Part of that is due to the fact that human sexuality is so varied that people masturbate in a more diverse collection of ways than tends to get represented. But more than that, even if you hit on a way of masturbating that no one else did, there wouldn't be anything wrong with that. Masturbation is about finding something(s) that you enjoy, so if it feels good to you, that's kind of the main thing that matters, you know?
When it comes to masturbating to or getting aroused by things that weren't intended as sexual, there isn't anything wrong with doing that. If you were, say, leaving sexual comments in reply to those other ones, that would be an issue because you're involving that person in a sexual interaction they didn't consent to; but if you just enjoy it or use it for masturbation on your own, then you're not disregarding or disrespecting any boundaries. Does that make sense?
