Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of having an ultrasound on testicles and the result was a simple cyst. It is on left testicle, never had it removed but now that you are getting older you are concerned that it may effect your fertility, can it? And can it affect your ability to have and maintain an erection. You are a 23 year old male.

My thoughts and advise:
Such a simple cyst does not cause any problems for anything including you sex life and fertility.
I would advise you the following:
Get an ultrasonography and color doppler examination.
For fertility get your semen analysis.
If everything is fine no need for any surgery.
If there is a surgical problem, get operated only if required and indicated.
I find this answer helpful
