A general theory about how sexual desires develop is provided that may explain how something, including another person, becomes an object of sexual desire

High and Tight, Please: Self-explanations for Experiencing Short Haircuts as Erotic. Robert W. Mitchell. Sexuality & Culture, Feb 9 2021. https://rd.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12119-021-09815-y

Abstract: Sexologists have infrequently asked individuals to describe what led them to their sexual desires. In this study, 264 men and 7 women answered a questionnaire about their sexual interest in short haircuts on men, part of which asked them about any events or ideas they had that might explain their sexual desires. Surprisingly, a substantial minority of the men desired women as sexual partners. Almost 80% of the participants provided responses, which were examined for themes related to what might have caused their sexual interest in short haircuts on men, resulting in 16 themes, most of which help explain why short haircuts became objects of interest and fascination. The 10 most common themes are presented in detail, and a general theory about how sexual desires develop is provided that may explain how something, including another person, becomes an object of sexual desire.
