Yes: Men require an ample blood suply and pressure to achieve and maintain an erection.Low blood pressures from medicines or decrease blood suply from atherosclerosis may compromise sexual function.

Yes: Many circulatory conditions affect erections: hypotension, hypertension, arterial disease, neurological disease, and the drugs used to treat them.
"hypotension" is not the same for everyone, and many function normally (including sexually) at low blood pressures.
