I like to go regularly, whenever practicable, even if it's for little more than the blessing. I just feel great afterwards. I remember a lad in the army who hadn't been to Mass since his mother died, while he was a child, but he said to me he missed the great sense of peace he felt after confession. It's obviously not a function of the level of guilt wiped away, at that age. Just an expression of god's love. Probably always is.
I suspect a lot of people feel they have to go into endless details about their sins - which is not the case. I acknowledge I can't keep track of the smaller sins, and mostly just confess I don't know how quicky I managed to put lustful thoughts and hateful thoughts out of my mind. I was talking to a girl who all but said how many sugars she put in her coffee, when out with a friend.
