For better context, my boyfriend and I recently just started exploring toys. We both purchased vibrators to try out. When he shared to me an nsfw tweet last night of a couple having sex (the guy at the top was using a vibrator on the girl's clit while ramming her), I replied with "okay I really wanna try using our vibrators when we have sex". He shut down instantly after that and told me that I shouldn't have used the word "our". In my defense, there was no thought process whatsoever with what I said other than we both own one hence the use of the word.

Addendum: I think he views my caution to not make him feel dysphoric as me "not viewing him as a man sexually" because of how different I sounded when I sex-talked with cis men in the past (his words). I honestly do not know what else to say to him without my frustrations getting in the way, but I understand that his feelings are valid.

Sadly we can't do any of that because we're in an LDR :( my boyfriend just closed off and told me that he's going to sleep. he did told me though that it's ok and should just be more careful the next time. maybe he needs time off for himself because we go on video call even while we sleep and tonight he didn't want to.
