Precisely this -- if you want to honor your religious obligations so firmly, then you shouldn't even be having premarital sex. I know few religious people around our age who truly believe that it's imperative to wait until marriage, and even fewer (none) who believe that if it's alright before marriage, birth control is not an option, but to disregard the former and firmly press the latter is quite strange.

Your boyfriend is being a very caring and responsible guy for wanting to use condoms, despite the fact that he knows he could have better-feeling sex without them. He wants to make sure that you don't become a mother at 16 years old; and that you can enjoy sexual intimacy without having to worry about doing something stupid or irresponsible. As Angel said -- if you are mature enough to be having sex, you should be mature enough to know how to do it responsibly.
