That's a normal refractory period that most men experience. Many women do as well, but some do not have the refractory period and are able to move on to multiple orgasms without a break in stimulation. It's natural, chemical, and perfectly normal.
Sometimes it could be cut shorter if you try to become aroused again. Often times I just relax with my partner naked and don't even think to try again, but eventually I get an erection again. However, if I purposefully engage in more activity even though I'm not aroused, I will gain arousal and erection again faster. I don't mean activity with the purpose of regaining erection, just continuing sex in one way or another.
