What are some side effects of early age rape?

Question

Question prob best answered by some sort of doc. or psychiatrist but all answers are welcome

My girlfriend and i have been together for almost 4 months and i absolutly love her to death! Im 18 and she is 17. During the first month of our relationship she told me that she was raped by a family friend when she was only 13 years old. i know that exposure to s*x at and age that young can permanently effect a persons life and i want to know what problems she faces because it is really hard for her to open up to me. it seems odd because only after a couple days or so in the relationship she let me know about her rape but doesn't let me in on any other feelings or secrets. it makes me wonder whether i said something wrong when she told me but ive tried to be sooo supportive of her. if you have any tips on what to say to her and how to have her open up would also be extremely appreciated.

Anyways on to the main question:

i cant help to notice that she really likes s*x and has had atleast 5 s*x partners before me. our 2nd night ever hanging out (before we were even in our relationship) together she took my virginity, i really liked at the time her but that kinda bothered me to know that she was that easy. i know that it is also my fault though but it still bothers me.

Now she goes to a differant college as me and we get to see each other maybe 2 times a week if were lucky (only hour apart) sometimes only once every week or 2.

Im sorry if im putting in useless info, i just feel the more the better. anyways, im wondering if the fact that she was raped at such a young age can effect the way she feels about s*x and make her want to crave it when im not around and she is off at college around lots of guys and drinking.

Wow so im sorry if i wasted ur time and u end up not caring/not able to answer but i would really appreciate any input i can get! i am very desperate. please try to be polite/positive butgive me the facts also. Thank you all very very very much!!!

-----for the record i really do trust her but want her to be satisfied when not around me for long periods of time.

Answer 1

Answer 2

she could:

1 be making it up,

my friend ally made it up,

+& told everybody to make them feel bad,

she won't admit it,

but after she got raped,

she got checked,

+& they said nothing had happened to her,

+& she told me as soon as we had met.

or 2:

some women feel,

that,

oh well,

somebody already took my virginity,

i have nothing left,

why does it matter,

+& if she has daddy problems,

it could also be wanting a man t be there,

love and hold her.

so love her as much as you can,

tell her even though that happened to her,

your still there,

+& won't treat her any different than before

you knew.

Answer 3

I SO agree with the answer Janelle gave....pretty much on the mark there!  Problem is you don't know the truth but it definitely sounds like self esteem issues and an unknowing of the truth that boys can like her without the s*x.  Rape or not, us girls can be messed up!  You should talk to her about monogamy and gauge her reaction....
