High hemoglobin does not cause erectile dysfunction.
In contrast, as you mentioned in the Tags, it can be a cause of priapsim.
Priapism is a prolonged erection for more than 4 hours, and this erection is very painful when it is due to polycythemia (high hemoglobin).

Furthermore, testosterone, that is given sometimes for erectile dysfunction, can lead to polycythemia.
