Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

The penis is an organ which enlarges when sexual arousal takes place and remains hard till ejaculation. During sex the blood flow in the penis is maximum and once there is ejaculation the blood flow decreases and the penis becomes soft. In normal males the erection comes down soon after ejaculation and only in few there is sustained erection even after ejaculation. Hence you do not have any problem if the penis becomes soft after orgasm.
