I didn't think the fact I take an SSRI will hurt her self-esteem. I think the fact I can't climax will!
If a girl told me they simply couldn't climax I would think it had something to do with me even if It was for a medical reason.
I also don't want to tell her about my SSRI as it's a new relationship and I don't want to scary her with the big ball of crazy that it me.

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.

I went to my doctor and explained the trouble I was having.
My meds were changed to a different AD which was not an SSRI. I can't remember what it was called.
Anyway, It worked. My anorgasmia was cured but It did nothing for me depression! Nothing at all, as I was going though a bit of a rough patch I asked my doctor to change me back to an SSRI.
My ADs aren't working great for me right now so I'm going to go to my doctor to explain all the problems im having in detail but until then I stuck with the SSRI.
Until that happens is there any thing I can do to treat the anorgasmia?
