In the end I did the drawing because, 1) it's probably not a fetish, he just really likes that specific scenario enough to request essentially the same picture from dozens of different artists, 2) even if it is his fetish, it's not my place to judge people based on what they're in to, and it's not like it was one of the especially "bad" fetishes anyway, and 3) it was a cute idea and I wanted to draw it, recipients intentions aside.
I know I'm not the only artist that's been faced with this sort of problem before. Hell, Kevin Bolk has had this sort of thing happen to him, and he still gets by fine and no damage to his reputation or other artwork.
