The best advice that I can give you is to maintain your relationship with your parents and try to include your bf whenever you can. Share some of the non-sexual high points of your relationship with them.
I've been on both sides of this dilemma. My wife's parents never approved of me because I wasn't good enough for their daughter. I think they suspected that we had sex, but they never knew for sure until we got married. I had the problem arise as a father when my daughter moved in with her bf before she told us that he was her bf. She tried to convince us that she ended up moving in with him when his sister backed out of the shared rental. I hope I handled it better than my wife's parents. All I know is that they have been married for 14 years. They live a couple of miles away. We see them all the time and babysit our granddaughter two days a week. Plus, he and I play golf together all the time.
It's already been pointed out that your parents are suffering the shock of their "little girl" growing up and having sex. But the other part of that is that they also are in denial about their "little girl" being independent now. They may pay bills, etc. But you are effectively outside their control because you are at college and not living at home full time. It will take some time before they can accept those changes, because those are major perceptual changes. Give them time.
At least it sounds like you are still communicating with them. As frustrating as it may be, keep those lines of communication open.
Good luck.
