The history of age of consent laws including Pitcairn Island, the observed results of sexualised deepfakes in classrooms by other students, and the observation that according to sexual therapists "fetishisation" is the development of a sexual response and conversion into a requirement over the course of repeated exposure rather than any innate tendency that a person is born with.

I read that in a book, in a study, they were able to cause people to be aroused by money by pairing it with sexy bits. But later, they lost the association pretty quickly.

This doesn't contradict what you are saying, and the study could be like most psychology (unreplicated), but it seems the impact is minor... But minor on 6 billion people could be terrible for a few people.
