Experimentally-Induced “Sexual Fetishism”: Replication and Development
S. Rachman,R. J. Hodgson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, five Ss were conditioned to give sexual response to a photograph of a pair of knee-length boots (CS) and then the response was extinguished by repeated presentation of the CS alone.

Experimental control of sexual deviation through manipulation of the noxious scene in covert sensitization.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that verbal description of the nauseous scene was an effective aversive stimulus, and pairing this scene with scenes of the undesired behavior was responsible for declines in deviant sexual behavior during covert sensitization.
