He’s too rough!

Sometimes when my boyfriend and I have sex, he tends to get a bit rough when he gets in the zone. We do occasionally have sex that tends to be on the rough side, so it’s okay with me. But sometimes he tends to get in the zone of being extremely rough to the point that sometimes I wonder if he’s making love to me, or just using my body as a means of getting off. A lot of times I’m uncomfortable and in pain from the excessive and rough penetration he does. In his head he thinks that the rougher it is, the better the sex is. He just doesn’t understand that hard penetration does not equate to great sex for EVERYONE. He’s a great guy, listened, and understood what I said afterwards, but I’m afraid of having sex with him again because it really bothered me this time.
