 Do you have any male family members or friends that could talk to him for you? If not, and you are worried about what you can and can not say because of your religion, ask a priest for advice on how to talk to your son about sex.
If your religion does not believe in any form of birth control, make sure you tell your son that. Your son might feel he does not want to follow the religion and might have sex before marriage, and therefor you should enlighten him about pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. You can inform him of why he must not have sex before he is married, because if he does he will make a woman pregnant, and also he could catch a deadly disease! Make sure you give him all the information about the diseases, and how a woman gets pregnant. I think it would also be wise if you take it in several steps, and not give him all the information at once. Do it like home schooling and have several lessons on this topic. Then make sure he understands. Do not feel emberrassed about this, you are doing it to protect him.
