Harpaxophilia is the sexual attraction to being robbed. This is often used as a type of sexual fantasy, where the top robs the bottom's house. Harpaxophilia often requires the victim to feel helpless about being burgled, so may be associated also with physical restraint such as bondage, or with having to submit under threat of assault.
The word derives from the Greek words harpax (extortioner,
plunderer, robber) and philia (attraction). Sources
