<human>: While talking this evening, my GF told me that when she was a teenager, she was sexually assaulted and almost raped. She (amazingly) told me the whole story about what happened, and how her family felt about it. This has caused confidence issues in her; as well as, nervousness,hesitation, and major trust issues when it comes to sex. She also told me that since then, in her past relationships, the guys have not respected her in consideration to this, even going as far as to not stopping when she shuts down (or cries) in bed.

We also talked a bit about what she would like me to do when it comes to her having a panic attack regarding the past, or in general. We will be waiting for sex until she is comfortable enough with it, and I understand that communication and respect will be needed on my part through anything that happens sexually between us.

She dose not seem to have a problem with anything in out relationship, until it will come to the bed (when/if it does) I am more or less just looking for advice in general relating to this issue. I have known people who have been in the same situation, but never been close to them. I know I can not be to pushy with her, but just wondering if there is any anyone has to say that could help myself, and herself, in the relationship :)

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: GF was sexually assaulted in the past, looking for advice and words of wisdom to help myself, and the relationship in the future.
