I don't feel guilty in having pleasure!

I enjoyed sex and indulged in it when I fancied the men.

Pleasure usually takes the form of me and now; joy is us and always.

I do get pleasure from very inconsequential things, like shopping for clothes.

I find pleasure in things that are simple.

I'd never had so much pleasure with another human being.

If I practised sex, out of moral conviction, that was one thing; but to enjoy it... seemed a defeat.

I don't believe in the term 'guilty pleasure,' because it implies I should feel ashamed for liking something. A real guilty pleasure would be, I don't know, taking gratification in some stranger's ghastly death or something - which I guess I do enjoy, because I read a ton of true crime.

Pleasure is nothing else but the intermission of pain.
