>What I don't get it is why self-pleasure in any form is considered a metaphysical sin that I have to pay for in the afterlife.
Because it lacks purpose.

the purpose is to alleviate stress

There are plenty of things that alleviate stress, are edifying and don't darken the intellect. The entire point about lust is about it being a powerful carnal impulse which must be dominated. Indulging in your concupiscence does for your mind or your soul, quite the contrary. You know this both spiritually and scientifically, there is nothing controversial about this.

i had to look up what concupiscence means. That's exactly what I feel. An ardent deep lust that never goes away. Why did God give us this if it's supposed to be conquered? That is my whole problem with this stuff. So many depictions of God has Him judging us on death day and seeing how we measured up, but we never get to be like 'wtf dad these standards are retarded. YOU GAVE ME THESE PROBLEMS! If it was such an issue for you, don't give me them!!!'

Makes no sense and it's really only because Hes way more powerful then us that we have to put up with this. Like that fullmetal Alchemist video beautifully illustrated, if God was straightforward in exactly what we were supposed to do, we would do it. Instead it's an indecipherable riddle mixed with impossible platonic ideals and embedded failure mechanisms.

Technically God didn't give you these, read Genesis, you were free from sin until the fall where the Serpent seduced Eve. It's a choice, that we make we have free will.
