Check age of consent laws. I think any kind of sexual activity falls under those. And I doubt that if someone was to actually use the law against you (like if your parents don't want you having sex and they were to walk in), that he or she would differentiate much between oral sex, manual sex, penis-in-vagina intercourse, etc. So check!
As for bringing things up with your partner, I'd just ask. And don't involve your friends or have them ask for you, unless you're in some kind of triangle relationship, the whole messenger business is a bit immature.
Just start off by saying, "What do you think about sex?" or "I've been thinking about trying out ________ with you, what do you think?" It's really much easier to just say it instead of dance around the edge of a subject. Pick a time when you're alone and both able to talk for a bit.
If you can handle having a mature, frank discussion about sex, protection, emotional readiness, communication during the act, what you'd do if anything went wrong, etc. you should be ready to actually do the things you talked about.
If you feel uncomfortable talking about it, though, maybe you should take a step back and see whether this is what you really want to be doing. Should you be having sex when you can't say to your partner, "I want you to do _______," or "stop, that hurts" or "try doing...." ? You just need to muster up the courage. And it gets easier to talk about. In the meantime, look around on the main site and read the articles. They're a good source of info.

You're still very young and you don't need to rush in to being sexually active if you're not completely ready because from what it sounds like, you aren't.
You make think you're ready just because you WANT to be sexual with your boyfriend, but like faifai said, if you can't have a mature discussion about sex, thats a pretty good indicator that you're not ready.
I've been in the same boat as you, and ended up doing things that I wasn't completely ready for, even though I thought I was, and it really sucked. So really, just wait it out until you feel completely comfortable talking about sex with your partner, and you won't have to worry so much about 'timing' and 'how to do' certain things.
