Ready to have sex but... birth control?

[xkiss]

My boyfriend is becoming increasingly comfortable with me. Which is normal because we have been together for a few months now and if he otherwise wasn't comfortable already I know there would be a problem. When we are together he can't keep his hands off me. We kiss a lot and he feels my ass and runs his hands up and down my legs and my body and he'll sometimes even smack my ass too, not hard but playfully. When we kiss he sometimes will moan or he will pull me into him or squeeze me really tight and breath quickly and deeply. He has told me before that he finds me irresistible. For the first time the other day he asked if he could see my breasts and I allowed him to and then he started kissing and touching them. Everything is progressing in our relationship and it is obvious that he wants to have sex with me, and I do want to have sex with him as well. We are both virgins and I'm 17 and he's 16. I want to talk to my parents about birth control but I would like to know the best way to start a conversation about that because it will be kind of awkward to talk to them about this but it is so much better than becoming pregnant.

I think you should just be blunt, and tell them you are thinking of having sex and want to protect yourself.

[Gigabitch]

That conversation is going to be a lot less awkward than the one where you tell them you're pregnant.

lol, you got that right.

Blunt yeah, but birth control isnt protecting yourself, condom yeah.

Blunt is key. If you're grown up enough to have sex you should be grown up enough to have an adult conversation with your parents.

Can you ask your mom to take you to your DR because when she asks why say you'd like to take all precautions because you plan to be sexually active and what to be smart about it. Hopefully she'll praise you.
