My boyfriend(25m) said to me(22f) “I’ve never been told no before” and it’s making me look at him differently. how do i bring this up to him?

My boyfriend is genuinely such an amazing guy. He's done so much for himself to get him to where he's at. He's supported me in everything and has helped me become a better woman. I admire him for so many things and have a lot of respect for him that he's rightfully earned.

Recently we've been going through a bump in our sex life. We have already addressed this issue and have come to a resolution to make sure everyone is happy. So that's not the problem.

The problem is he's said to me "I've never been told no before". This isn't the first time he's said this in regards to sex or outside of sex. He's said it a handful of times and each time he says it, I feel a little disgusted and taken back. It seems kind of like he's trying to manipulate me into giving him what he wants by being like everyone else and not telling him "no". It's coming off very pretentious and that's a turn off for me.

I'm not sure if pretentious is the right word or if I'm overthinking his comment too much. It's really rubbing me the wrong way. I want to bring it up but i genuinely don't know how or what to say.

thank you guys!
