I recently have been seeing a girl who I am utterly crazy about and she doesn't really know much about my medical situation and for the time being I would like to keep it that way.

I'm worried she might think it has something to do with her!
Even if I explain why I'm having trouble I think it would still hurt her self esteem.

Is there anything I can do? a supplement maybe?
I had the exact problem and, as per your concern, my wife thought it was about her even though it was the SSRI. I tried about 5 different ones before settling on venlafaxine. It's an SSNRI and a rather nasty one, but I'll be on it my whole life and I can actually climax again.

My suggestion would be to consider looking into different medications. One SSRI can cause anorgasmia in you while another won't. The trick will be finding the right one.
