How do I tell my boyfriend to be rougher?

I've told my boyfriend that he can be as rough as he wants during sex. He even said "I feel like I've been gentle" and I agreed and have told him to be a little rougher yet he's still gentle. Maybe he just doesn't want to objectify me, but how do I broach this subject without making him feel inadequate.
