Human fetishism has been compared to [[Pavlovian conditioning]] of sexual response in other animals.<ref name="pfaus">{{cite journal |last1= Pfaus |first1=J. G. |last2=Kippin |first2=T.

Both male and female rats will develop a sexual preference for neutrally or even noxiously scented partners if those scents are paired with their early sexual experiences.<ref name="pfaus" /> Injecting [[morphine]] or [[oxytocin]] into a male rat during its first exposure to scented females has the same effect.<ref name="pfaus" /> Rats will also develop sexual preferences for the location of their early sexual experiences, and can be conditioned to show increased arousal in the presence of objects such as a plastic toy fish.<ref name="pfaus" /><ref name="zamble" /> One experiment found that rats which are made to wear a Velcro tethering jacket during their formative sexual experiences exhibit severe deficits in sexual performance when not wearing the jacket.<ref name="pfaus" /> Similar sexual conditioning has been demonstrated in [[gourami]]s, [[marmoset]]s and [[Japanese quail]]s.<ref name="pfaus" />

Possible [[boot fetishism]] has been reported in two different primates from the same zoo. Whenever a boot was placed near the first, a [[common chimpanzee]] born in captivity, he would invariably stare at it, touch it, become erect, rub his penis against the boot, masturbate, and then consume his ejaculate. The second, a [[guinea baboon]], would become erect while rubbing and smelling the boot, but not masturbate or touch it with his penis.<ref>{{cite book | author = Epstein, A.
