 Which one of your parents is easier to talk to? Pick one, go out to dinner or something and have a little chat with them. If it's easier for you, make up a code word for sex to make the conversation a little bit less awkward. Something like, "me and Jake have been... 'eating pizza'..." or something. That's what I did with my Mom when I talked to her, and it made the conversation a little less awkward and a whole lot more funny.
You should talk to them about going to Planned Parenthood together, because I'm sure that your parents just want you to be smart and safe and if you prove to them that you are, they'll take everything that much better. Prove that you are trustworthy and that you want to take care of yourself.
Also, maybe you should see if your boyfriend can come over more often? Maybe you could cook dinner and have him over and your parents can get to know him even better.
It's always weird to talk to your parents about sex, but it's way better than lying to them and then having a huge fight about stuff later!! Good luck, sweetness.
