Ricky Martin is a guilty pleasure.
Most other things I can freely admit to loving.

Thanks, Lindy! I'm cured!

@2: Hope you don't think I was being accusatory! I just don't want anyone to hide their Degrassi love light under a bushel.

Chuck Klosterman isn't a guilty pleasure. He's an irritating douchebag.

Sometimes a situation calls for "Toxic" by B. Spears and I don't feel ashamed to admit that.

I always thought a guilty pleasure was something you enjoyed yet most people you assosiate with poo-pooed it. Like the way that baseball is a guilty pleasure for me among friends who hate pro sports, or Lady Gaga is a guilty pleasure when I am among most of my friends, or admitting infront of my high schoold drama teacher that I liked Threes Company (OK, that show hasn't aged well the last 20 years, everyone was guilty of what Ms. Grosso would call over-acting). I always took the "guilty" in guilty pleasure to be a little tongue in cheek, more of an admission that you are going to get teased a little when the subject comes up, or teased a-lot when everyone finds out.
That is why most people don't talk about their masturbation practices.

I am delighted to hear you will have happy news for me about the Tooth. Duane Johnson's eyebrow-cocking skills make him a treasure to me.

I'm 48 and I love watching Degrassi! Now I can do it without embarassment. Thanks Lindy.

I thought that a guilty pleasure was something that you loved but was bad for you. I mostly use the expression when it comes to food. Like, chocolate truffles are my guilty pleasure. They are awesome and delicious, but they are making my butt huger.

i'm not interested in feeling guilty about my pleasures, but with the ones that my intellect knows are bad quality yet i still enjoy for some reason...well, those are the guilty ones.

is watching re-runs of my so-called life on hulu a guilty pleasure?

Duke Leto: "the tooth....the tooth."

I really like the movie Doom.

Falco.

You are my guilty pleasure, Lindy, but I don't feel guilty in the slightest. Also, I have Nsync and Britney on my ipod.

I don't have guilt about my pleasures, but I am certainly embarrassed by some of them.

Guilt sometimes makes things more pleasurable.

Also, I'm an old man with a big beard, if I don't claim some guilt watching DeGrassi it looks twisted as fuck. "Guilty pleasure" can be code for "I know this looks wrong, but I have my reasons that have nothing to do with the creepy shit you may be imagining."

@16, you nailed it, its not really guilt, just embarrasment. Because in Seattle, and other major metropolises with thriving art, theater, and music scenes hipster points are valuable, even if you are not a hipster. Its subliminal for those of you who might be quick to disagree. Think about it, think about your own thought processes.
But, most important, it is about context. Watching porn is a guilty pleasure when the subject comes up with certain people, other people it is a shared interest.

I have a Mandy Moore song on my iPod. It is the epitome of a guilty pleasure, and when it came on during a Pocker night with the guys, I was absolutely horrified.
