That study where the experimental subjects developed a penny jar fetish. If that works, wouldn't you expect watching pornography to create an attraction to men? (Assuming it's a man watching heterosexual porn.)

I would expect that that effect would be even more pronounced, because the people watching it are putting themselves into a state of arousal on purpose. This could be an easy way of becoming bisexual, for those who are currently either gay or straight.
