The possible cause of loss of erection is psychological.
Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for providing details
It is normal to see slight reduction in erection with progression of age and married life. Lack of co-operation from partner after birth of children is one of reasons for loss of erection during sex. Spending more and more time in foreplay would bypass this and will help you in sustaining the erection. Find new ways to excite her and this will make your erection strong. Going out on a small vacation without children will also help. Talk with your wife about sex and discussion will help in strong erection.
As you are getting good erections but are losing these at times. This means that there is no organic problem. Supplements containing L-arginine and Yohimbin can be used to get strong erection. A lot of combination supplement drugs are available in market, and you can start taking these daily. This will help to restore the lost erection.
If on using the supplements the problem persists then medicines like Tadalafil can help. The drug is long action and will help in giving good erection for about 2 days. You can use the drug on SOS basis. This drug is a prescription drug and you have to visit a doctor to get prescription of this drug.
Thanks. Take care

Hello again
Please excuse me for late reply. Losing weight should have positive impact on erection and should improve the testosterone levels. Exercise helps to boost testosterone levels.
If you don't want to take medicines for now then you can think of adding supplements in diet. L-arginine as I've mentioned is a natural supplement and will help in improving the libido and erection. The supplement is safe to use and you can get form good nutrition shops.
Increase intake of foods rich in omega fatty acids like ground nuts, walnuts, salmon or sardine fish. This will also help you. Fenugreek (methi in Hindi) seeds also help to boost testosterone levels.
