I think you guys just have opposing sexual styles. I wouldn't say there is anything wrong with him, you guys just may not be compatible that way. Cut him some slack. It doesn't matter so much what he calls it than the actual act, right? Do you feel disrespected after you two have sex?
Then that is a deeper issue. Talk to him again. Don't force him to take on some kind of corny romance style because he will just feel uncomfortable and fake. If you broaden your mind a little to the occasional "f**k" then you can also start showing him how to have more tender love making sessions, and whatever word you want to use to talk about them.

I don't mind the word F**k personally, but for him to say that he might rape you.. you can rape him, seems UTTERLY sick. I'm thinking ( and I could be way off) that he has come dominance issues/fetish going on. As in he is wanting to either dom you or have you be the dom.
What you really need to do, is have a sit down and talk about sex with him. About fantasies and about exploration.
Talk about romance.
I know a lot of people ( woman especially) feel uncomfortable talking about sex, but I can tell you that you will BOTH get better sex if you can talk about likes/dislikes/role play.. whatnot.
Some men don't use the words make love, cause it sounds corny. Some times people don't want to make love, they want to rut like two pigs in mud.
You might want to let him know that if he wants to get some saying "make love" turn you on WAY more then "F**k" does.

Maybe he thinks you need some dirty talk to get you going - he almost certainly does. Tryt it - it won't do any harm. Try being a cook in the kitchen, the perfect hostess in the lounge and a whore in the bedroom. Some men like it that way, and it looks like you've got one of them.
