"Corruption" seems to be, for lack of a better explanation, a non-harmful(almost universally beneficial, in fact) sort of radiation. That is to say, it seems to behave like radiation in many ways. It causes any organic material exposed to it to mutate physically, for instance, though the mutations never seem to result in sickness, pain, or death. It makes those affected stronger, faster, and generally seems to tend to give them what we'd consider super powers. Sorta like Captain America's Vita-Rays.

It also affects mental functioning, seeming to have the universal effect of loosening inhibitions, sexual and otherwise. Folks tend to start taking better care of themselves, stop stressing over what corrupt organizations want them to do, and be over-all happier after a good dosing of Demonic Energy.

That's what I gather from the setting information, mind you.
