W - It may for awhile. The mechanisms of the nervous system that are involved in getting an erection and ejaculating are essentially opposites. It is natural for men to lose their erections after ejaculation but the same mechanism that is involved in maintaining an erection with Viagra, and other medications like it, is still somewhat active. Best idea is probably to rest, enjoy each other's company, and resume the fun after a break.
