My GF wont have sex with me

This is my first real relationship I have had. Im not great with girls but we are a great couple. every thing is great between us apart from sex. See the thing is she had a problem with a previous BF who forced him self on her which has put her off. now after a year and half I have got her comfortable with hand stuff and being naked however she will never take off her pants. now every time i try and talk about it I can see it ending in a fight so i give up and forget about it so i dont know what to do can anyone help me out with some advice

If you try to not be so persistent and back off, maybe she will come to you

If she is the girl you want to be with be patient, what's the rush? Slow down and enjoy what you have got together and slowly she will feel safe with you and be prepared to move into a sexual relationship. If you make it an issue you will soon find yourself single again!

If you really really "love" her you will respect how she feels. What if you were in her shoes as a female u wud be the same. She needs professional therapy to deal with the trauma and fear she feels. It won't be easy jist be patient.
