Erectile dysfunction is a real possibility when taking antiandrogens &/or estrogen, but again, it really depends on a few things. And even if you can still get hard, using testosterone antagonists like those above may still shrink penis size somewhat, which may or may not be desired.
Erections depend on a lot of hormones- testosterone, estrogen, testosterone derivatives like DHT (which is associated with body hair and baldness of the scalp), growth hormone, etc. One also needs good cardiovascular health and adequate mineral balance (which is why diuretics can soften erections), besides good neurotransmitter balance (one reasons why antidepressants can kill not only libido but also erectile function). It's a good idea to have some lab tests on hormones while everything still works to find a baseline of what you might need again to regain function. Besides testosterone and estrogen, ask for tests on other hormones named above, or buy your own tests.
When one imbalance exists, it often causes others, so it becomes difficult to address a single one and expect much results. Despite this, there are methods to obtain/maintain erections.
Viagra/cialis is a possible option. In porn, lots of men use so-called injectable "viagra", which is often caverject or some other injectable solution that can induce erections. Both oral viagra and injectable "viagra" can result in priapism, so it's worth keeping some sudafed handy and being prepared to do some exercise just in case an erection doesn't seem to go down.
I believe a urethral suppository to induce erections called Muse was removed, but I'm not sure. There is another option called "Tri-mix" (or "bi-mix" or "quad-mix"- depending on how many chemicals are combined), which can also be injected or applied as a gel.
Assuming good health, one could add the mental and "pc muscle" approach of kegels and meditatation with visualization to maintain erections.
