<human>: I've known my current SO for about a year. We always flirted and have been really great and close friends. We started dating about a month ago and the only thing that has really changed is we have sexy time and cuddle. He's my first real relationship and i've never had sex before. He has, and is being very sweet and understanding with me and I trust him a lot. We are both at the point where we are willing and ready to have sex and a few of my friends think that this may be moving too fast. I've been trying to not listen to them but im starting to think its weird that i'm not hessitant about having sex with him.  Also I am not on birth control yet. I would like to tell my mother i want to go on it, but I don't want her to freak out sense we've only been dating for a month. I figured i'd tell her i don't know if it will happen soon, or if it will but I want to be extra safe in case it does. I would really like some advice on this.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
