Masterbation

So my boyfriend and I were talking the other day and that topic came up. He said he doesn't do it and I thought he was joking and laughed and such but he got serious and said that it's because if he can just please himself he wouldn't need someone else for "love." I told him I do it and he kind of got hurt by it and told me that I won't need him for things anymore no matter how many times I told him he was WAY better than anything I could do to myself. So, now he doesn't want me to because it's HIS "job to touch me down there." I'm not sure how to take this. It's kind of funny to me but I could tell that when I said I do it that it kind of got to him. So I agreed to not doing it anymore even though I rarely did it anyways (which made him feel better when I said that) but ... I'm just wondering what everyone else thinks about this situation???
