In all honesty, what are some of your guilty pleasures that you are willing to admit?

[Irish Queer]

I love walking around in a jockstrap but only in summer. And this is not a guilty pleasure.
The actual guilty pleasure is picking my nose.

Oh i love a guy in a jockstrap its a pleasure you do it.

Why would you bother with a towel or t-shirt?

Only when I'm cooking or the temp drops a bit

Oh, cooking! Yeah, I forgot about that -- good point.

Cooking naked isn't generally even an option for me, because one wall of my kitchen is entirely windows.

That reminds me as i have watched General Hospital since the late 1970s when I was in college. I never miss a day.

I came home for lucch when I was in high school? and my sister would tell me "This is Donna . . . " on All My Children. I watched it for about 25? years. How could Palmer Courtland tell hid daughter, Nina that she was going blind and she should let Cliff go and not be a burden to him!!

I like Heidi's song . . .

Bananarama

I love this song . . .
I love when she snarls (at 0:54)

I have watched death videos in the past.

For example, I saw the footage that the gunman took at the Tops store shooting. As he approached the store, he shot 5 people in about 5 seconds. I think if footage like that was shown to the public, that people might think differently about gun rights.

Again, in footage taken by the New Zealand shooter at the church, he walked into the church and shot a person and for a moment, they got up and started crawling but he shot them again.

I really believe people's opinions would change if they saw crime footage

So full confession.

After writing about guilty pleasures, after my early morning hospital appointment this morning, I asked to go for a Sausage Egg McMuffin.

First one in over 6 months. yum.

I love walking around my apartment naked, if not fully naked then just in a towel or a t-shirt.

Just move into the apartment building across

I still watch anime from time to time is possibly my biggest guilty pleasure.

The biscuits are even better. (Speaking of guilty pleasures ...)

 

[ChristianGianni]

When having the odd wine I will crank up the music and dance around naked my neighbors either side of me are deaf as posts so can not hear me and I'm on the 4th floor so I'm not flashing anyone so the cops won't be called.

Although I make my own McMuffins at home (mostly, so they are toasted instead of steamed), I have to admit that MickeyD's makes a superior biscuit, even if a bit short and fragile.

Christian, you really shouldn't be doing that alone.

I hadn't been to a McDs for probably 30 years until last fall we stopped for a friend who was in the car who wanted a McD coffee instead of Starbucks and I tried a McGriddle with the sausage and now I am hooked. I have only had maybe 6 or 8 of them so far as they cut it off at 10:30 but whenever I am up and about and see a McDs and it is before 10:30 I will get one. The hint of maple in the pancake bun was a brilliant idea.

I honestly don't feel guilty about anything I do that brings me pleasure. I might not want to admit or discuss them with everyone, but not because I feel ashamed.

Yes !!!

I've never really understood why people would describe something really pleasurable as "sinful."

(Well, I can understand it with people who wholeheartedly believe in a religion which considers physical self-abnegation one of the highest of spiritual practices, but I don't think there are all that many people who truly believe that.)

What most people mean by "a guilty pleasure," I think, is "something I enjoy, but enjoying it conflicts with the image I prefer to have of myself."
For instance, enjoying a really silly book or TV show even though one likes to think of oneself as intelligent, sophisticated, and discerning.

Or, at best, it's "something I enjoy consuming it, but consuming it conflicts with some other goal I have."
For instance, eating french fries when one is trying to work out and become buff, or commenting on JUB when one should be doing one's job or grad school homework.

As the chalkboard outside a bakery-café in my neighborhood puts it, "I want a good body, but not as much as I want dessert."


This sort of thing is counterproductive or indicative of less-than-ideal willpower, sure, but I just don't get describing it as "sin."
