This is really interesting. The confessor is often eroticized as well. You are telling this person your dirty, sexy secrets, etc. I've written a paper about a Victorian novel, Griffith Gaunt, in which confession is figured as the main catalyst for an extramarital romance.
You should so read No Laughing Matter: the Origin of the Dirty Joke. It'll fuck with your head. So funny.
