Since finding out bf is being lil more kinky!

So since we have found out my boyfriend is being lil more rough w me during sex. He is more intense like biting an really getting down In there.. I mean we had intense sex before but not every time before we found out. But since he has found out he has been pretty rough. I feel like it's more animalistic, or he has a need to be super deep inside me.. I get its a turn on for him but it's become a lil painful at momentS. I obviously tell him when it's too much an he eases but just found it strange that since we found out he has become really intense. I like it don't get me wrong but sometimes I guess I would like to make "love". I am going to discuss this w him we have great communication. But was curious is anyone else experiencing this behavior from their significant other?
