Is it normal if he got upset that i called him a player?

Idk but you just can't trust so easily nowadays even when deep down you want to and you know you should. But I recently got into a really emotional argument/fight with my boyfriend. We didn't just jump into a relationship, it actually took about a year cause we had the same values of getting to know each other first and not rushing into things. So as I got to know him, I knew that he was a serious person and priority person.

So when we argued that night, I just brought out everything about how throughout our time together, I felt like I was being used especially that we love having sex with each other. Our sex is one of the strongest points in our relationship. I know it sounds like it shouldn't be but it is an important part and its just our way of letting our passion for each other out. So when I told him that I feel like he's using me and he's probably a player, he got really irritated and offended explaining that he is not that type of guy and that I don't know him at all after all this time. It kind of made me feel relieved that he got so irritated by it because that just means Im the crazy one and he's being honest. It's true tho right? As a guy, if you know truly in your heart that you're not a player, would you get really upset at someone you've been seeing for a while and possibly wanna be long-term with if they called you a player?

I mean to be honest, the majority of me knows that he is not like that but then the rest feels like if he is, i want him to know that I am aware and to not take my love and kindness for him for granted. After that argument, we did have prob one of the best sex/make-up sex ever but it did take a while to get to that because he was refusing to have sex with me. I kept insisting and he kept responding "no I don't wanna have sex w you cause you're gonna think I'm using you." But we slowly got there passionately. So is this normal for a man to do when he is honest about his feelings for someone he really does love?
