That wouldn't so much be about love, but about passion, and masculine-feminine attraction. Great energy high. But for me, if I love someone it's present in every sexual interaction from my side.
I'm joining the list of confused readers. I think you have massively overcomplicated things with this guy. Just a few thoughts:
1. You can NEVER know what the sex with someone is going to be like until you've had it. And often it takes quite a few attempts to get to a point of being comfortable with each other, understand how each other's bodies work and be in a mutual "flow" and connection like you're describing. With some partners it happens immediately of course, but often it takes time go get to know each other physically as much as emotionally or psychologically.
2. It's perfectly common that one partner is slightly more into X and the other into Y; it's what Dan Savage refers to when he says that for a good sexual relationship both partners need to be GGG (good, giving and game). It sounds like you're both stubborn and digging your heels in about a hypothetical situation instead of doing it. I imagine that if you've been keeping him waiting he is probably just very frustrated, but I'm sure he'd love to please you and would want to know how to get you off and be in synch (if you give him a chance!)
3. Sounds like you and him could enjoy both loving, tender sex and rougher sex together since you're actually quite compatible in the sense you're open to both options. And as women we don't "take what we're given"! We ask, tell, demonstrate or instruct, depends on what your dynamic is

But having such a rigid, fixed idea of what sex "should be like" is actually not very sexy. The only way is to communicate physically and not verbally. I'm a woman, 34, loooove sex and have a fair amount of experience of various types of sex and love with different kinds of people - but what you are saying made very little sense to me. What are you afraid of? He's clearly into you and doesn't want to use you, but you sound very stuck on what you think "men are like".
4. Food for thought: many guys might try to come across like they can just separate sex from feelings and are all tough and alpha male but trust me, once they sleep with a woman they love they are mushier than we are and are all for hugs, kisses and cuddles - it's just that you'll NEVER get them to admit it in a conversation. Plus it can make them feel vulnerable and perhaps he just wasn't ready to show you this more tender side of him yet (by the sounds of it, for good reasons because you don't really know what you want and broke his heart in the process). Again, sex is talking through the body, stop using words.
