How do I approach my girlfriends parents about sex and our relationship? Now here's the details, I come from a family that is very clean and say to wait til marriage, and I totally agree with them and I made a vow to wait until married. But today me and my girlfriend were at her car and we always talk and play games on my phone and what not for about an hour and a half then we leave and so on. She brought up the fact that her parents have been having talks about sex and shed gets it like everytime she gets home after we talk. Her family is very Catholic as well as mine. They tell her to wait as well and we both agree that well wait. But I'm really stuck on how to approach them on this...like to talk to them about the subject. In all we've dated for 6 monthes and her parents love me to death.

largentsgirl89 agony auntYou could use a promise ring maybe? Most people I know have done that. It's a promise to abstain from sex until marriage and as long as you wear it it signifies your committment to not have sex. I think its awesome that you and your girlfriend share that belief, that's something you don't find as much these days. So congrats and good luck.

Thanks, a lot of what I was told to do was all mixed answers and told me its something to avoid, but I see that its a big deal id like to clear up and have discussed before any problems or suspicions arise for whatever reasons. I appreciate the answer, and the clarity of how to approach them about the topic.

largentsgirl89 agony auntIf you have dated her for six months and her parents love you to death, then tell them you would like to talk to them. Be very mature and straight forward about the subject. Tell them that you believe sex should wait until marriage and you are going to stick to that, make sure that they know you aren't pulling their leg and tell them that out of respect for them and their daughter you wanted to inform them of this, as today many young adults are engaged in sexual activity anyway.

SoccerStar21 agony auntA clearer question I just thought of, how do I engage in a conversation about how I vow to them not to engage in the practice of sex until marriage with her. My girlfriend even stated that her mother would absolutely be crazy about me if I told her this, I'm just very confused on how and when I should do this.
