single-word-requests

What is another way of saying when you take pleasure in doing something that convention says you are not supposed to do ? (ie the word or expression that I am looking for is very similar to saying for example, I take "subversive pleasure" in talking loudly in the library. I am not thinking of "perverse pleasure", though that is an equally good synonym, its just not the one that I can't think of.)

Best Answer

Guilty Pleasure.

You'll see uses everywhere, from food you enjoy even though it is bad for you, to music you enjoy even though Justin Bieber sings it.

There is a related question online that suggests indulgence or perversion, which meet the single word criterion.
