You know I’ve been dating the same person for a little while now. I really care about this person, and I’ve started wondering if we might be ready for sex. I wanted to talk to you about it first.  I know you want what’s best for me, and I want to know what you think.

I really care about [insert partner’s name], and we’ve talked about how if we did have sex one day, we would want to be responsible about it. We’ve discussed safer sex and/or birth control. But we’re not sure we’re ready for this.

I know this might be hard for you to hear because you still think of me as your baby. But I am growing up. You have always been there for me, so I wanted to talk to you about this and hear what you think.

[Insert partner’s name] and I discussed it, and we’ve decided we’re ready to have sex. I want you to know that I’m being responsible. We’ve discussed safer sex and/or birth control, and we’ve already discussed how we feel about everything.

This might be hard for you because you still think of me as your baby, but I am growing up. I’m ready for this, but it would mean so much to me to know that I don’t have to sneak around behind your back.
