The concept of sin is a strange one. It is taking all that is part of our animal nature and making it "bad". The Christian concept of being "born" in sin with the sin of Adam and Eve in "disobeying their Creator and Eating of the Tree of Knowledge (thinking??) of good and evil, is even stanger. That is really not a "fair" and "just" concept.
The idea of making sensual pleasure a sin is an old "religious" idea (also from the Gothic era) that is not only Christianity's. To deny our physical nature through austerities, sacrifice and "mortifications" such as self immolations, was supposed to make the person more "spiritual". Has it made for a more "spiritual" society? There is no evidence of that. There is no doubt that to "give up" something that you like or that is sensually pleasureable will give you "will power". The problem is to remain "humble" in that new power and not become "arrogant" and try an impose it on others as a "law" or a "sin". That is just a "religious" form of control that was used in "olden days". We now expect our spiritual guides to be "logical" and "make sense" with us and not to "order us around" as they did when religion had "political" power. Some societies have yet to take that power away from their religious "leaders".
Is eating (a sensual pleasure) tasty food, a sin because some people abuse eating and become obese and "overweight"
Is scratching an itchy spot or scratching or rubbing just for pleasure as in a "massage", a sin because some people get pleasure from the sensuality of it and is a "waste of time"?
So using our (privates) sexual organs for pleasure rather than for procreation or for waste elimination is a natural physical thing and as such can be "addictive" and lead to a "compulsion" or a "habit" and lead the habituated to have a difficulty finding someone else to "satisfy" the urge as well as themselves. But it is hardly a sin such as "stealing" or "murder" or "violence" that affects the neighbour negatively. The Catholics would make it a "venial" sin. as opposed to a "mortal" sin.
To know if something is a Sin, ask your CREATOR, not your PASTOR or you "religion".

Doesn't it say in the Bible that to look at another mans wife? with lust in your heart is a sin ? I might be mixing verses here, but there was something that could be interpreted that way. Maybe the word used was covet? I am not saying either way, I am asking if to think of anothers wife with lust in the heart is a sin. Do you see where I'm going with this ?

No it is not. It is private. It is not the business of
anyone but you.
Some have even said it is a sin to spill it on the ground...
Chuckle...So catch it in a napkin and you will be fine.
The problem or mistake comes when you ask others
about their opinion...That is when the worms come out to play. It is none of their business. Your job is to learn
how to succeed in your chosen profession. Get a good education. Seek a good job and work hard to become a
productive member of society. Be good to your friends, and help them when ever you can. Ignore your enemies and walk away from them. That is your mission in life.

Obviously, it is not a sin!
This rumour of it being a sin has been widespread by many conservationist and other people who are against the sexsual education being taught to youngters.
Furthermore, these rumours are also spread but to the shyness of certain adults and parents about rervealing these topics which are considered as taboos in certain societies and religions.
In addition to this in certain societies we shall also have man boasting about their masturbation practices when they are among friends.
Therefore do not worry about your case.

No. But you may have some people refer you to the Old Testament story of Judah and Tamar which says that a man spilling his seed on the ground is a sin.

I know it's a bad habit; but a Sin? Not too sure.

Nope. As a matter of fact, it's a great way to cheer yourself up.
