One important key in your relationship is...communication! If you ask a million people what their definition of "making love" is and "having sex", you would receive a million different responses about the details. If you are planning to be physically intimate with your boyfriend, and he with you, it is imperative that you both FIRST feel comfortable enough with each other to talk about what he means by "making love", and what do you want to do? You seem to be more concerned with doing what he wants you to do...and I want to make sure that YOU also want to "make love" or "have sex" with your boyfriend.
Usually when someone says "make love", they mean they want to have penis-to-vagina intercourse. There are so many different definitions of "sex" as I mentioned above, but the typical response is that "making love" and "having sex" involve intercourse.
You mentioned that "we" have prader willi syndrome, does that mean both you and your boyfriend? Depending on the severity, the sex organs of males and females can be underdeveloped, and only a doctor can tell you if you are able to conceive or not. It sounds like you have been told that you are able to have children with the addition of hormones. Are you currently having menstrual periods? You mentioned that you ovulate, correct?
If you do not want to become pregnant now, you need to talk with your boyfriend about birth control. If you have even the slightest chance of becoming pregnant without additional hormones, you must use birth control and not have "unprotected sex", as there is a risk of pregnancy. A condom is a great birth control, as it is relatively inexpensive, accessible (can be bought at any drugstore/pharmacy, grocery store, convenience store) and easy to use. If this is your boyfriend's first time using a condom, he should practice putting a condom on and off a few times before having sex with you.
