Hi,
Normally, it should not make any special difference, even if you masturbate with presence of catheter except a slight discomfort. However, for some this experience is very sore. A loop of catheter can be left at the tip of penis to accommodate increased length of penis during erection. However, for most of the males, this is a cumbersome act, which is annoying usually.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
