What's your guilty pleasure?

As a somewhat accomplished Graphic Artist / Photographer / Photo-collagist SO LONG AS done for ONLY MY OWN amusement... AND NOT DISSEMENATED for public view, literally ANYTHING I can conceive of, I can visually render. In many public forums, doubtless others have expressed aroused interest outside the legally-proscribed parameters of eroticism. I offer you an infamous alleged quotation of that notorious libertine, the Marquis De Sade:

"How delightful are the pleasures of the imagination!
In those delectable moments, the whole world is ours; not a single creature resists us,
we devastate the world, we repopulate it with new objects which, in turn, we immolate.
The means to every crime is ours, and we employ them all, we multiply the horror a hundredfold."

When we consider what Society considered depraved or debauched
the SOLE baseline determiner is twofold and with a lesser emphasis upon the second criteria:
(1) Is the act or experience PHYSICALLY possible?
(2) Is SURVIVING said experience LIKELY with One's 'sanity' intact?

Thereafter recollection of sensation co-mingles with perception of pleasure/pain and
eventually an assessment of 'conscience' and culpability. Wherever perception of pleasure
far outstrips physical inconvenience, some aspect of 'addiction' is engendered and
One rationalizes to yet again manipulate circumstance.
