For other uses, see Guilty pleasure (disambiguation).
A guilty pleasure is something one considers pleasurable despite feeling guilt for enjoying it.[1] Often, the "guilt" involved is simply fear of others discovering one's lowbrow or otherwise embarrassing tastes, rather than actual moral guilt. Fashion, music,[2] and food can be examples of guilty pleasures.[3]
