Can someone explain the context, when to use the phrase "Guilty pleasures"?
A few example will help in a long way.
cheers,

We shouldn't really give examples, because the whole idea of "guilty pleasures" is something one enjoys and considers pleasurable despite feeling guilt for enjoying it.
So for Nagy, it's drinking something other than Gin, for DD it's when he votes Labour at every opportunity.

None. Griff probably did have to back out either goats or women repeatedly though. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
