As a man I have to agree with Vashti. For me sometimes we "make love", sometimes it's more passionate. Whatever we call it, we both express our feelings to each other, which I think is important. We both have an open attitude about sex, and no hangups really. I see 2 problems here: 1) your guy has no class, and probably has trouble expressing his emotions, because he ALWAYS refers to it as sex, 2) you sound a bit too sensitive to this issue.
For you, try to lighten up and enjoy things with no expectations. For him, he needs to learn to refer to it as "making love" half the time, if only to make you feel better. There needs to be a balance with both parties getting their needs met. Ok?
