I need y’all’s opinion!

Okay so. My boyfriend and I have been together for 8 months, and we have a healthy relationship. But the sex is not exactly what I want. He’s too gentle with me, and I know a lot of us girls want a little roughness every now and then! I know, “talk to him about it”. I have. He listens, but he never actually comes through on it. So I’m just here like:

What should I do? Help please!

Edit: so I initiate everything sexual every single time, and I just want him to act like he actually wants me instead of me seeming super desperate for it.
