My parents are kinda conservative and sex-shy. They're prude and it's so lame (like, my mum would even blush at a menstruation conversation. It would frustrate me so much), so since I was like 14, I've been making the occasional sex joke around my mum so she'd stop being so pathetic and immature, in hopes she would grow up and be prepared to have actual adult conversations with her daughter. It's working, I guess.

much to awkward of a subject to talk about with my parents and I highly doubt they'd approve.. I'm glad I don't have to

Can you ask her advice about contraception (even if you don't need information) just to signal that you're ready to talk about it even if she isn't?

Considering my family's heritage, contraception is a bit far. I don't think I'll ever get to that level. It's already an achievement for me to have had her warm up to conversations about menstruation and jokes about things that show up in my biology textbooks.
