Everyone has a weakness of some sort, whether it be buying weird stuff one sees on late-night infomercials or ordering entire fast-food menus. This can extend to everything from music to daydreams, as a pretty normal part of being human is finding pleasure in things you would probably not admit to the folks around you.
Someone asked “What is a guilty pleasure of yours no one knows about?” and people spilled the beans. So get comfortable as you read through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your personal vices in the comments section below.

I leave for work earlier than I need to so that I can go to the harbour beforehand for a calming coffee and smoke with the view of the early morning mist rolling across the sea, and the early morning fishing charters leaving for the day.
I used to live in Brighton here in the UK, and used to live very close to the beach. Used to love going to sleep to the sound of the waves. Would love to live by the sea again.
Load More Replies...I don't blame you. I'm lucky enough to live by the coast and when I was in my old job I was able to drop my kids off to breakfast club early and have a nice walk along the sea front before I caught my train. Unfortunately I work different hours now so I don't get the chance to do this any more. I miss my early morning walks.
I wish I were a morning person so I could do things like this :\. I’ve tried to be one entire life, but I’m hardwired to be a night person :\
Same. I think the only sunrises I’ve seen were because I hadn’t gone to bed.
Load More Replies...If I lived Closer to my areas harbor than I do presently, I would do that except for smoking.
This puts me in mind of Tim Minchin's bit about "guilty pleasures". How on earth is this a "guilty" pleasure?
Having even a little time for ourselves in the productivity grind machine is probably considered a guilty pleasure
Load More Replies...That "Guilty Pleasure" sounds more like "Starting the day with Self Care"
I like to vividly imagine scenarios I'd rather be in. I'm a chronic daydreamer.
When I was in grade school my teachers told my mom the same thing. Mom and dad were divorcing and I was probably dreaming about a world that was still "whole".
Did this since I was a child. Now I'm 64 and daydreaming more than ever.
I was just watching a YouTube video the other day about maladaptive daydreaming and now I’m worried I daydream too much 😩
Nah, no such thing... there actually really is absolutely no way in this life to know with certainty what is real and what is not, so may as well enjoy it. EDIT: I decided I don't give a shìt about bulllshit like this anymore :-D

Cross stitching. I'm a nearly 20 year old man and I've spent hours at a time doing those damn samplers!!!
Walmart sold a cat kit that was very detailed and I finished it in maybe 2 months, its my magnum opus to this day.
Nothing wrong with this. Former NFL Player Rosie Grier loved needlepoint. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosey_Grier
Cross stitch and embroidery are incredibly useful, creative and relaxing to do. But your chosen picture isn't of cross stitch 🤷🏻♀️😊
I fantasize about living a happy life with a partner who is as happy about me as I am about them. Just someone to go do things with. 🤷🏼♂️.
I never thought I'd get that. But now I do, and I love him to the end of the world
Luckily, this is one of those things that can be moved from fantasy to reality. However, for some people, a fantasy is preferable, because reality is a lot messier no actual relationship is ever as happy as a fantasy one. For some people an hour of fantasizing is enough, but a real life 24-7=365 relationship is more than they really want to deal with, and that is perfectly OK.
I sometimes fantasize about just not being alive any more. I'm not going to take my own life or anything, but it's somehow comforting to imagine not having to carry around all the burdens that come with life.
It's called Passive Suicidal Ideation; it's a real thing and it's 100% fine to seek treatment for it. PSI can be a warning sign of other mental illnesses or burnout, and a sign you need some TLC
I thought that's just something that everyone does once in a while. I already know I'm burnt out but I'm in a situation where I can't do anything about it.
Load More Replies...I do the same, I'm not actively suicidal I just don't care if I live or die. Spent the last twenty years fighting an illness and watch as it slowly erodes more and more of my life.
I feel you. I can't even talk to my wife and family about having looked into Dignitas and Sarco because it makes me feel selfish... but there is probably a point in time where the lack of ability and physical pain becomes too much. I don't know if/when I will reach that point, but it's less stressful having a plan and options.
Load More Replies...ok genuine question since I never know: sometimes my brain just wonders about not being alive and i don't immediately dismiss it. I always do but it feels like there's a momentary lag where I'm like 'ok, so...this might be good? is it good?' I don't know if that's intrusive thoughts or suicidal ideation or normal or what. I'm not going to kill myself obviously but...I don't know. Now I'm anxious about being suicidal. yay. (fwiw, family history of depression) Sorry for the disjointed thoughts.
May I suggest actually speaking with a mental health professional, like a psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist or a counselor. Just from what was said in your comment, I would guess that having these very occasional thoughts is quite common for many, depending on the situation. No need to make yourself anxious, especially without talking with a professional. I wish you the best and if you need someone to talk to, please don't hesitate to reach out. I have been diagnosed with multiple different mental health conditions, of which I have been receiving continuous treatment for many years now. 🫂
Load More Replies...I do the almost opposite, daydreaming about being single and childless again and all the things I could do instead - even while I know I probably wouldn't anyway! But just to be alone and do whatever without having to think about the family all the time.
It IS indeed VERY comforting, isn't it? Aaaaand all that sh*t just...poof...gone! Just Wow!🤗
I leave work once a week and go to a movie theater and have a 2 hour lunch of popcorn and soda while I watch a new movie.
Especially when it’s cold or there is some major weather event going on, I usually will just lie in bed and think about how nice it is to have my wife and kids safe and secure under one roof. I’m not an actual hard core prepper but I do think having food, water, supplies gives me a sense of comfort.
This used to be called just being responsible, but when I managed to get to the point after escaping from poverty, where I could genuinely have enough food in the house without worry, and a little money set aside for emergencies - I genuinely felt so safe and confident.
I feel this. I will still go grocery shopping even if I have a full pantry with food. I need the security of food in the fridge, freezer, pantry.
Load More Replies...Just old school. My mamaw, mom, and aunts and uncles still have gardens and have canning parties to put stuff back. Never hurts and plenty of good eats.
Yes. My Nan always had a cupboard full of tinned stuff and her own pickles. Comforting to know it's there
Load More Replies...I am not a prepper, but even though I am now disabled, I have just in case plans. I have a water distiller and know how to make beer, wine, and fuel. I can fish and my neighbors hunt, so I know I could trade with them. Our sub has water around it with one road going through... doesn't everyone think about this stuff? 😅
I'm totally onboard and have plans in my head in case s**t ever goes south.

Browsing houses on Zillow that I don’t plan on buying.
I love doing this. I have a folder where I save ones I particularly like. I also collect floor plans. It's nice to have to have floor plans available if I'm writing and want to describe a house, or if I'm building something on SIMS or House Flipper. But I also just really like floor plans.
I find it maddening how few real estate listings include a floor plan. I can’t get any understanding of where anything in the house is without one.
Load More Replies...I've been seriously browsing for nearly 18 months. I sometimes get fed up and begin looking at homes that are way out of my price range just so it doesn't seem so dismal.
Same. I feel like I'm just window shopping at Louis Vuitton or something.
Load More Replies...I love browsing houses online for "when" or IF i ever did win the lotto
I like to do that with houses in Japan, but I also like to check out the town or village they're located in too and imagine how it would be there
House p o r n, lol. I play the lottery to fund my day dreams 🤷 it could happen to me 🤪
I daydream about leaving everything behind and disappearing. I would live in a camper somewhere out in Wyoming where it’s quiet and away from the daily noise that brings me down everyday.
I have similar fantasies except it always involves getting on a boat and sailing away into the wide blue yonder. In reality, the last two times I was out of the country I had crippling anxiety the entire time, so I know I'd never actually be able to do it. (Also I don't have a boat or any knowledge of sailing other than the difference between the prow and the stern).
My fantasy involves a canal boat, much more doable, and the slow pace is so healing
Load More Replies...Right? There are a lot of middle-of-nowhere places that are really quiet but Wyoming isn’t one of them. Where the wind doesn’t howl places have people.
Load More Replies...I would adore living peacefully with nature, free from the need to interact with humanity as a whole. I love you all, but you humans are just too much after a while, you know!?
The quietest place I've ever been is in a valley northwest of Death Valley, here: 37.256459,-117.823880 (cut and paste into google maps). At about this point I was the only car on the road. I stopped the car, got out, and walked off the road a little way and stopped. It was so quiet I could hear the very slight breeze moving past my ears. I turned my head a little and even that sound stopped. Dead silent. I had been getting over a bad breakup, and with this silence I felt all of the tension and stress fall away like shedding my skin. Still no other cars on the road. I just breathed for several minutes. Exactly what I needed. Finally, I heard a noise in the sky. I was a plane, high up making a contrail. I've never heard a plane that high up before or since. Just remembering that still helps me relax. Death Valley was interesting, too.
Wyoming would be a good place to do it; I had to drive across the state and there was a period where we drove 100 miles and there was one gas station all by itself
Talking to my cats as if they are my actual children… took them to the vet for a checkup over my annual physical once… i will do anything for them.
Don't neglect your health. They need you to be well so you can care for them.
Yes! "Put your oxygen mask on yourself before helping others" good analogy!
Load More Replies...In Ireland going to the vet costs 3 times more than a doctor appointment
In the U.S. my co-pay for doctor’s visits is $20… Vet appointments have no such system and end up being $130, unless any special tests are done.

Staying up all night. It's bad for me but sometimes I get obsessed with a book or something. .
Me just here between 5 and 6 in morning not sleeping. Half doom scrolling..
I find that there’s a crossover point somewhere between 4 and 5AM. After that, even if I try to go to sleep I can’t until around 8 or 9.
I think adrenaline kicks in, but/and I totally know what you mean.
Load More Replies...I was that kid that would stay up till one or 2 o’clock in the morning reading. I’m still that person as an adult If I find the book gripping or deeply moving!
I daydream about making enough money to be comfortable, owning my home, having a supportive partner and being happy. You know. Fantasy stuff.
Exploitation culture is the entire purpose of capitalism. If only works because somebody(s) else is loosing.
Load More Replies...Yup. As a Canadian citizen I dream about winning the lottery so I can get my teeth fixed, receive regular medical care, get psychological treatment for PTSD/anxiety/depression/ADHD, afford healthy groceries, and own a 2 bedroom apartment. You know, stuff rich people get, apparently
I get that eerie feeling, that I might not be the only "weirdo" around here... I mean...what if YOU are right and THEY are wrong??? Imma need to get poster from Fargo!😳
Longing for societal collapse so I can avoid work tomorrow.
I love my job, but I have this fantasy too. I just don't want to HAVE to go to work every day. I want to go when I want to and spend more time doing things that give me life outside of work.
Load More Replies...Just quit? You'll have to maybe eat your savings but it's totally ok to leave a work you hate. New things always come, just rest and find a new job in a month or two. So simple. It's just money, happiness is worth more.
Much easier said than done. So many people are living paycheck to paycheck with minimal in savings, if any at all. If you don't have at least a few thousand put away in savings, you don't have the option to just rest for a month or two.

On Sunday i go out for breakfast all by myself. This is my me time.
Before bed, I often find myself imagining in detail how things might have turned out if I had made a different choice about something important from my past.
Just wait until you get older, when there's more behind you than ahead and you're reading something and suddenly a thought like that hits you. Then imagine that it happens once or twice daily.
Agree, regrets & embarrassments from the past seem to multiply as you grow older
Load More Replies...I’ve been doing this since I was 8 years old and I could have said no to going back to a certain pair of foster parents.
I am retired now and occasionally I do this. If I would have pursued what I wanted to do, my life would have turned out completely different than what it did.
I'm at that age where I do this all the time. Those choices that led me sitting here on BP. Change one major decision, and everything changes, maybe for the better, maybe not.
It's "The Road Not Taken" poem by Robert Frost in action. It's one of my favorites.
Please don't torture yourself like that. I may be an idiot, but I'm an adaptable idiot. Woulda, shoulda, coulda.
I used to do this. Then I realized I never would have met my 2 dog buddies and also my 2 good friends. So I figured out maybe it was for the best.
I'm a forty year old man that watches Buffy the Vampire Slayer
I'm 58 and we've just finished watching all seven seasons - for the third time
Ha! I'm 59 and doing the exact same thing. Beware season 6, "The Body".
Load More Replies...I'm 54, and I have the BtVS DVD box set. I've been watching since it was originally on TV. Shame about how Joss Whedon turned out, some of the eps are a hard watch, knowing what we know now.
51 year old here - this is probably my favourite TV show ever. My wife bought me the boxset a few years ago (4:3). DO NOT watch the 'remastered' version. Great TV, some of the best characters ever (SPIKE) and every time one of the actors appear in something else I scream "they were in Buffy the Vampyre Slayer"
I'll see your watching of Buffy and raise you with owning the box sets of all 7 seasons and all 5 of Angel. and I'm 67 years old. Get off my lawn.....
Besides my wife, no one knows my guilty pleasure is smelly stuff. I'm a dude but love me some scented candles.
That was not the smelly stuff I'd first imagined 😅 smelly stuff translate for me to some unpleasant smell?
Smelly is most usually used to describe unpleasant smells (and scented to describe pleasant smells) but not always. In UK "smellies" is often a colloquial term for soap, talc, cologne and deodorant. As in "I got a load of smellies for Christmas"
Load More Replies...One of the main differences between men and women, is that if a woman says "smell this", it usually smells nice.
I'm really into "gentleman's club" type smells since my divorce. I don't smoke and hate the smell, but tobacco oil mixed with other things, including sandalwood and Oud makes the house feel like mine rather than me living in a woman's house
Load More Replies...Is it illegal for men to indulge that kind of behaviour where you live, or something? I am my wife's carer and I like the house clean, tidy and smelling of good things.
What’s wrong with being a man and loving pleasant smells? Granted, a lot of scented candles have large amounts of endocrine disruptors, but they can indeed smell enjoyable!
Between my Brother, Niece and her Husband that lives with us, we have over a hundred scented candles. That doesn't include wax warmers, aromatherapy burners and the insane amount of incense that we have. The one good thing is that my house always smells good, because someone is ALWAYS burning something.

I like to dance with my wife. By dance I mean traditional waltz (family makes us all learn, mother in law and my mom have been friends since kindergarten so she put her in the same class as me). She thinks I hate it because when we were kids I wouldn't stop growing so I was always stepping on her toes when we had to practice together.
I spent way too many years b***hing about the lessons for me to admit that I like it when she asks.
That's not a guilty pleasure.... That's a wholesome one. How wonderful !
I love going to stores that sell junk and browsing. I love stores like At Home, Dollar Tree and Loves Truck Stops.
Me too. You never know what you might find! *shows off soap dispenser shaped like a lemon*
Plot twist: The only soap you can find is lime-shaped.
Load More Replies...For 30 years or more, I just randomly stopped at fuel stations (Mich to Fla), suffering the wife's criticism of less than ideal rest rooms. "Discovered" Loves truck stops now that we go to NC yearly. Always clean, fuel is same/cheaper price...woulda,shoulda, coulda.
Sheetz gas is cheaper especially in Alamance Co. Love's in Haw River was the cheapest until we got Sheetz in Mebane and Graham. Buckeys will be opening across the Hwy from Love's in a year or so.
Load More Replies...We have a Family Dollar, Dollar Tree and Dollar General where I live and they do a ton of business. You can get some things dirt cheap, but there are also stuff that I would NOT buy from them as well.
Rockstar by Nickleback.
Now I'm picturing a period where every time you get bloody output, your vagina starts singing a random Nickelback song...
Load More Replies...Nickleback absolutely does not deserve the hate they get. Sure, they're not socially relevant like Bob Dylan and they're not revolutionary or especially unique or anything. But they're a damn sight more talented than most people and their music makes for good background sound.
I agree. My husband took me to see Nickelback once, a friend gave him free tickets, and they are brilliant live.

I love reading smut/sex fantasy books about fantasies I'll never be able to make happen.
It's no different than reading any novel and imagining you're the protagonist. Nothing wrong with that at all.
Black Dagger Brotherhood has every type of action, blood and gore, romance, sex and smut and you love the craziest characters by the end.
I love J R Ward's books. All of her vampire series' are my guilty reading pleasure

Gas station hot dogs.
My restaurant was just recently voted #1 in a reasonably large city. We're all honored, it's a great achievement.
And I can't say no to friggin' gas station dogs.
*rolling hotdogs from five hour ago* (or me just not knowing hot gas station hot dogs work?)
Maybe it's that basic non-snobbish appreciation of food on its own merits that is reflected in the offerings in your restaurant. 🙂
Gotta be on a hot dog roll with mustard, chili, slaw and onions. Or as we call it here in the south... All the way with either fries or chips.
I love taking sips of hot coffee and at the same time taking a bite of chocolate or any sweet baked good and letting it melt in my mouth with the coffee.
So first you take a bite of whatever ( I like a chocolate timbit) and then follow it up with a sip of coffee. Thank me later
like they invented this...."thank me later." Doin' it for 40 yrs now. YOU'RE WELCOME.
And here in Australia, we have Tim Tams. Delicious chocolate biscuits that you can bite the corners off and drink your coffee, using the biscuit as a straw - so good
Tim Tams are the best!!! Got them at an expat shop here in NL and the owner asked conspiratorially if I "knew how to use them"
Load More Replies...Bite off each end of a twix and use it like a straw to drink hot chocolate.
Here's one that a lot of people may not have connected: spicy foods (tomato-based dishes are the best) followed by a sip of coffee. Don't know why they go together so well, but each one enhances the taste of the other.
We keep a jar of powdered coffee just for this. When we make tomato based pasta sauces, or even chili, we add a little powdered coffee. Powdered cacao is also good. Adds a nice flavor.
Load More Replies...I love to dip ginger snaps in my tea, hot or iced it doesn't matter.
who knew coffee and chocolate went well together. or coffee and pastries! its like the french never even existed.
I’m a dude in my 40s. My guilty pleasure is female pop music. When I’m with friends, I listen to hardcore rap and hip hop. But when I’m chilling on my own, I secretly listen to top 40 pop music like Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Dua Lipa.
My Hubby knoes more songs by Taylor Swift and will happily sing out loud and dosnt care who is listening, you do you ✌️
I'm close to my 30s. I excessively listen to songs from Digimon (the OG Japanese version) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ha, that's nothing. My (then) husband got hooked on The Backyardigans when our son was little, and he bought the CD. And played it repeatedly while singing along. Our son was so embarrassed.
I grew up with Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt, Judy Collins, Janis Joplin, Carol King, and all of the rest. And I still do. And I'm a guy as well. These are legends, not top 40.
Ecxept he really shouldn't hide it in front of his friends.

I chop up and freeze bite size slices of lemon and eat them in the late hours of the night sometimes. For extra deliciousness, I dip them in maple syrup.
I cook citrus peel until it's soft, and eat it as is, or dip in chocolate if I'm feeling fancy
I fantasize about enjoying a routine and sticking to it each day.
I want to say something deep, but it’s imitation crab. I love imitation crab SO MUCH. When I’m feeling s****y I know I can just buy a pack of (flake style) imitation crab & eat the entire thing.. I like to find where each individual start of the wind is & start unwinding it & just kind of munch it up like a noodle.
Seriously, that stuff is so good! I can't get it very often, especially since my wife won't touch it.
When I was a kid, my mom used to buy this stuffed crab I absolutely loved. I never had problems with it because I was allergic to shrimp. As I became an adult, and began eating other shellfish, I learned I was allergic to all shellfish, including crab. That stuffed crab was imitation crab but was so delicious.
Hello fellow shellfish allergy person! I don’t eat meat now though so it’s not really a thing, although I always mention it at restaurants when they ask.
Load More Replies...Love it, especially crab salad and cold chipotle mac and cheese salad that my locally owned grocery store serves in their deli. Give me that or a package of imitation crab meat and a block of cheese, that s**t is my kryptonite.
Mix up some mayo and siracha to make spicy mayo to mix with it. So good, especially on top of rice.
I love it too. I melt butter and sprinkle Old Bay seasoning in it. Delicious!
I wash in between my toes and it makes me feel SOOOO much f*****g cleaner, for some reason.
Why would you neglect those little incubators? The best that can happen is chapping, but there some things that grow there that can EAT YOUR VERY FLESH.
I love the feeling of glass…I just rub it and run my fingers over it. The more polished the better, or frosted glass with texture omg…. Idk why I do it. I panic if my smartphone has a scratch in the screen. I feel it. And I promise you…I notice it even if it’s light surface scratches.
The feel of real Chinese silk. There are impressive imitators, but nothing like the real thing.
Stimulating textures. It could be related to neurodivergence (very common among people with autism. I used to rub the tops of my thighs with my hands as a kid because I found the numbing feeling I got on the palms of my hands from the friction comforting)
Ah! When I was much younger, I used to take one of my brother’s (unused) diapers and fold up the adhesive part, then rub the corner on my finger. It was the only way I could sleep.

Good chocolate isn't that bad in moderation. But the sugar in 1 soda is what's the worst.
I think my stomach not being able to handle carbonated drinks was the best thing for me. I LOVE Dr. Pepper and decades before the company started selling it in stores, there is a locally owned Drive-in that would make Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper. It still tastes a million times better then what you can buy in the store. That Drive-in has blown up and turned into a pretty big chain called Sonic, but I remember when they only had a few restaurants.
Cherry Limeade was my favorite and it tastes different now. I am sure you remember car hops on roller skates.🙂

I don't get asmr at all. Like to each their own but I find it borderline engaging to listen to. There's a part of me that thinks it's the kinda thing serial killers listen to for some reason.
When I take my socks off after work, I like to give em a lil sniff.
I sometimes don’t eat an entire day cause I feel I don’t deserve food. Starving serves as my punishment and pleasure.
I’m sorry. Anorexia is a dangerous and heartbreaking mental health disorder that takes so many lives. It takes a massive amount of work but you deserve to be healthy and well. Please seek help/ recovery you deserve it.
Sorry, I think you have an unhealthy mental condition and need to see a specialist.
Food is a basic human right. I don’t care what you’ve done, you don’t deserve to be starved, especially not by yourself
Not necessarily. I'm depressed with suicidal ideations and sometimes there are days I don't have the energy to go make me some food. I know I could eat, but just don't have the energy. Other days I eat one meal at the end of the day because I got busy with work or chores and actually forgot. Other times I had to forfeit eating because I only had enough budget to stretch it to four meals a week. The latter one hurt the most, considering I really did want to eat and it hurt a lot (after a while the aching stomach dulls, but in the beginning when you're coming from regular meals to hardly any it really really hurts)
Load More Replies...I used to do that. It's because I had a narcissistic mother who used me as a human stress ball. So she'd feed me, and then feel dissatisfied at not being rewarded enough and get angry at how much I was costing. And so I wouldn't eat. Then she'd fuss at how thin I was, and buy expensive morsels and spend ages trying to tempt me. And if I accepted them, she would launch into a tirade about how she deprived herself for me. I was conscious of this cycle when I was six, so heaven knows how long it had been going on for. Plus side, I'm really, REALLY good at saving and going without, am now financially secure and she can't touch me.
Been there. It's so bad and satisfying at the same time, innit? Miss that. and then, I kinda don't...🤷🏼♂️
I love listening to Kero Kero Bonito. My background and past does not lead to being a kkb fan, but here I am.

I like to throw hair scrunchies in peoples open windows, just to add some excitement to some random strangers life.

I think in my years of experience in IT it seems these type of people have no power outside of work in their real life or have no life but IT. Like being bullied but then for 8 hours of the day you have value but can suddenly be the bully.
This is dangerous, what if a medical doctor did this to their patients? What if an architect did this? Most businesses could not perform without a proper IT network, what JackA** thought this was a power play? Should be criminal to NOT do your job when it is so important.
I pet stuffed animals I see at the shop. Some jerk kid saw me doing it once and made a nasty comment but I don't care; the soft plush feels nice.
I'm not sure it's really a guilty pleasure. I don't really feel guilty, but I guess I do feel weird admitting it to people in person--not that it often comes up anyway. But my absolute favorite way of escaping is playing GTA V online. I'm a 50 year old woman. I play it almost daily and the days I'm not playing it, I'm thinking about it. In real life I love going to LA so it isn't a huge stretch that I love Los Santos. But it's also my swanky apartment, my extensive wardrobe, and my massive collection of cars. Plus, I'm running a pretty successful criminal empire.
Nothing wrong with this. Since it's illegal to do in real life video games are the best alternative.
Load More Replies...I think a lot of them weren't guilty pleasures, but people going through a rough time. My guilty pleasure is watching everything about Eurovision song contest. I always take the week off and enjoy everything comfortable in pj's on the couch.
Best thing about the Eurovision, is that it's also just before a bit football thing in the UK I forget what, I don't care... But there's always someone who wants the football week off annual leave... And will happily swap with me for the Eurovision week off.... So I genuinely get Eurovision off each year too....
Load More Replies...My guilty pleasure is having the house totally to myself, no kids, no hubby. I can do what I want. Bliss.
I'm so jealous. My husband doesn't work and he is always home, always, always.
Load More Replies...My guilty pleasure is watching the first two Twilight movies. They don't portray the greatest love-relationships, but I don't watch them for the romance. Nor for the vampires, since... you know... they sparkle. What I love in those movies is how the Cullens love each other and help each other out. The way they treat Bella, I don't know, it's just comforting. This and the mood. I love fog, I love rainy towns and green forests.
Most of these aren't guilty pleasures, just pleasures. The guilty part comes from society or family or some group considering the action to be uncommon or taboo. No one should consider something like enjoying a sunset with an SO to be a guilty pleasure. Enjoying a sunset with your SO on a park bench while you're both naked would be more worthy of the term "guilty pleasure". 😉
I have a pair of jeans I keep just to touch. I love how they feel and they have a nice crease that I rub between my fingers.
