Your Dad is the real MVP!
My mother is a bit traditional in a couple of senses- she tends to frown on the idea of hookups/one night stands and has always advised me to save having sex for someone who loves and treats me fairly. That being said, whilst I've made a few mistakes in regards to my sex life (ie: chosing assholes/mistaking lust or infatuation with love and rushing into things), she's always been supportive and took it upon herself to ensure I had a good understanding of sex and relationships.
In regards to birth control, she actually encouraged me to go on The Pill at 15, moreso because of brutal periods but also as a precaution and had no objections about it. She also encouraged me to get an IUD after I became jaded with the notion of taking pills every day and she provided me with a lot of useful information on the subject.
She gave me this book when I was around 10 years old and going through the hell of precocious puberty and it explained SO MUCH. She was always quick to answer any of my queries so for that, my mom is pretty awesome.
In this regard I recommend a book called "Every Woman"
My mother calls it her Bible and has had every edition since 1971. She is a midwife and refers patients to it.
It was more than likely Everywoman by Derek Llewellyn-Jones. 9 editions and millions sold since 1971, still the best no-bullshit sex and puberty book ever. Should be read by everyone who hits puberty, male or female.
