My take on the issue is that we all pursue happiness. In doing so we make choices. Biblical / spiritual guidance is about making the right choices. Hoarding money for the sake of having more than others excludes you from the pleasure of investing it and seeing it put to productive use. The pleasure you get from whoring around excludes you from the pleasure of having a loving and faithful relationship.
Sinful choices are those stemming from a love of self that excludes others and an inordinate focus on sensuality. Sinful choices remove from consideration the dignity of self and others and the development of your own character. Pleasure in itself is not the problem. The problems come when our pursuit of pleasure is wrong-headed.
