i think its starts with the myth of forbidden -- while there are things that are bad for you -- like touching a hot stove -- others are forbidden for any number of made up reasons to keep us from having fun. so fun things get forbidden. i think you were just given cupcakes you would get sick of them pretty quick -- they are kind of nasty -- but that you are only allowed them at special times and special occasions they take on special qualities that aren't really part of the cupcake.

I think it's the intrigue of knowing that you're doing something that feels right to you and the fact that you're going to get caught or are watching your back.

It increases want, which translates to the greater satisfaction that is enjoyed when the want is fulfilled.
