Tired of Feeling Guilty Over Pleasure

Ira Glass said something recently that made me cheer.  In a column called Ira Glass:  By the Book he was asked:
"What’s your favorite literary genre? Any guilty pleasures?"
His answer was:
 ?I don’t believe in guilty pleasures, I only believe in pleasures. People who call reading detective fiction or eating dessert a guilty pleasure make me want to puke. Pedophilia is a pleasure a person should have guilt about. Not chocolate."
I am totally in agreement with Mr. Glass.  There is real sin and real evil.  Why do we want to vilify make taboo activities that are detrimental on a moral/ spiritual basis.
