mysophilia

mysophilia
noun /ˌmaɪsəʊ̆ˈfɪlɪə/
A sexual dependency on something soiled or filthy, usually a kind of undergarment after use.

While here filthiness is seemingly a consequence of the fear of being soiled, it is in our cases a consciously wished for situation which might be similar to mysophilia within the psychosexual infantility.
