Hey there @OutNumbered1-3 thank you reaching out to us about your son. Firstly, I wanted to agree with you that it's really positive that your son feels comfortable to open up about the changes he is going through. I can imagine that it is a huge transition for you as well to see your son develop feelings for someone and it is really understandable that you are concerned about the two of them taking things to the next level given they aren't able to do so in a safe environment. It is a good thing that your son is aware of safe sex practices such as using a condom, however it sounds like an open conversation about these next steps might be a good thing too.
We have some articles for parents on how to be sex positive and informed as well as how to talk with your teenager about sex.
They might help to give you some advice on how to approach a conversation with your son. There also might be some other parents who have some tips for you, after all this is something all parents go through at some stage.
Please feel free to continue sharing your concerns about this and we will do what we can to support you. I've also attached this article on helping your teen with coming out, it might be helpful to read as well.

It looks like you’re visiting us from a country other than Australia.
We are an Australian service and think you’d benefit more from looking up a similar service in your country.
You are welcome to look around the forums, but please don’t make an account or post, as we can’t offer you the help you may need.
Before you go ahead and post, you should know that we remove non-Australian accounts – not because we don’t want to help or connect with you, but because we may not be able to provide you with the service that you require.
