Not compatible with bf

So I don't think my boyfriend and I are not compatible. Sexually I mean. I find he's just kind of boring (like its good cause it's sex) but it's the same thing all the time. I would like him to be a little rougher, and have told him but he says he isn't a violent person. I know that, he's the kindest person I ever met. But rough is different than violent. And he doesn't want to try oral sex, not even being on the receiving end. What can I do to make him try to expand and be more adventurous in bed? Thanks girlies.
