Corruptophilia

Corruptophilia (from the Latin corrumpere “to corrupt, spoil, or morally degrade” and the Ancient Greek word φιλία/philia, “love” or “attraction") is a proposed paraphilia in which an individual expresses strong sexual or psychological interest in corrupting, manipulating, deceiving or leading others into unethical, unwanted or socially taboo behaviour.

The term is used to describe a pattern of attraction focused not on a specific physical trait, but on the act of influencing or transforming another person’s moral character. It may be conceptually related to certain forms of dominance-based paraphilias. Although this one centres more into the mind and the psychological than other more physical ones.
Person A: I really would love to fuck a priest.
Person B: Don't they have vows for celibacy and such?

Person A: Exactly why that's hot.

Person B: You so have Corruptophilia.
