It depends...: I would have to know, do you ejaculate before you lose your erection? It is entirely normal to lose your erection following ejacualtion. If you do not ejaculate prior to losing the erection, many factors may be at play, including medication side effects, alcohol, recreational drugs, psychological factors, and possible erectile dysfunction. If this is the case, i would recommend seeing urologist.
