Guilty pleasure is an activity that you’d be ashamed to tell someone. It could be safe things like watching reality TV, masturbation, watching a kids’ show, or eating lots of ice cream. It’s something that you think you shouldn’t do, but do it anyway. Or it could be as others have mentioned, that it’s something that society would frown upon (or friends or family, etc.)
There’s also things that are considered guilty pleasures that aren’t… really guilty? And something being guilty is not a universal term as Olga said. But things like getting a massage, a manicure, a haircut, etc. can be said to be “guilty pleasures.” As if doing something that feels good is guilty! Oh society… you’re so twisted… It’s seen in commercials targeted at moms or middle-aged females that they should indulge in guilty pleasures (like chocolates, massages, etc.). Sigh Society… wait wait… we should call it sigh-ciety. Am I right?- Jakie frost
