But isn’t that just mentally dictated physical urges? And what about masturbation? Most people are attracted to others because of chemical and mental connections. Sex is used to form a emotional and/or physical bond. If we were mostly instinctually beckoned to reproduce then wouldn’t sex mainly only happen at times of ovulation?

Technically yes, it’s the same in terms of mentally dictated physical urges. But on a level of practicality, heterosexuality serves to propagate the species, whereas fetishes don’t. I’m not saying this puts heteros on some higher “moral” plain, just saying that it’s a substantial enough difference to not be labeled similarly.
