Hierophilia

Hierophilia is the fetishization of religious or sacred things, locations, and individuals. The sight and touch of these objects and individuals arouse sexually those who suffer from these urges. In order to satisfy these cravings, they could masturbate on sacred objects like crosses and church benches or engage in sexual activity in places of worship like altars and confession booths.

More About Hierophilia

Some sex workers assert that religious persons are more likely to have hierophilia. Atheists who struggle with this fetish are pretty rare. The happiness and general uplift experienced during religious rites and similar events can be used to explain this. Sexual arousal may be stimulated by being profoundly moved during these interactions. A person may eventually get conditioned to these practices.
