Hello and welcome.

By masturbating at night, I hope you do mean masturbating and not nightfall? Please understand that there is a difference between the two.

The only time masturbation is discouraged is when it begins to affect your daily life chores and relationship(s). So please work on distracting yourself away from masturbation and concentrating on your partner.

Also, speak to your partner about working towards sexually arousing you more often which will help to keep you from masturbating.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
