Masturbation is considered a sin at any time.
Judeo-Christian tradition has taught for thousands of years:
1. Single people should be celibate.
2. Married people should be faithful to each other (adultery is wrong).
The Catholic Church recognizes the power of sex when it teaches, "Sexuality affects all aspects of the human person in the unity of his body and soul."
Chastity means the successful integration of sexuality within the person. A chaste person's body and spirit lives in unity and opposes any behavior that would impair that unity.
Masturbation is contrary to the human dignity of the person and anyone about whom the person has lustful thoughts, and the dignity of human sexuality.
With love in Christ.

Remember our Savior said: “He who looks upon a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery in his heart.” Mat 5:28

It is a sin to masturbate ANY TIME.
It is self- sexual abuse because it misuses the gift of our sexuality
