Brief Answer:
You do not have Erectile Dysfunction

Detailed Answer:
.Hello
Thanks for query,
Since you are able to penetrate vagina and able to perform sex at the first attempt, it is certain that you do not have problem of erectile dysfunction.

Not to get hard erection on subsequent attempts immediately after first intercourse is not uncommon .It is due to residual paralysis of erectile tissue that occurs after first intercourse . It take 2-3 hours for erectile tissue to recover completely and to to become normal for next erection .

Try to modify interval between two sessions so that you get adequate time to rejuvenises yourself.

Taking Sildenafil(Viagra) as on demand will help to get good hard erection and to have enjoyable sex.

Hope I have answered your query.Please feel free to ask if you more questions .I shall be happy to help you .
Thanks and Regards.
