Kids play cowboys and Indians, adults play sexy prison guard and inmate, there's no particular difference in the games as they don't by themselves inherently convey the true nature of the relationships, with themselves and towards the other. That is why the religious fundamentalist views are so damaging, because it puts all the emphasis on the contrivance, and bypasses the substance.
But I do agree with the above, the games we choose to play can be indicative of our blockages and distortions, and investing too hard into ever increasing theatrics may be therapy, or it may be the drug to mask the issues needing resolution. I've only witnessed this scene from the outside, but what I've observed from the hardcore enthusiasts is not the need to control others, but their rather emotional environment. Its not unique in that way compared to other 'personality types', just another expression it.
Polyamory is another subject, but I feel that true polyamory is actually very rare, and most is more 'pseudo’ (aka 'open relationships'), being just multiple sexual partners without the intense 'true love' exchange amongst all equally.
..and agree for the rest of it.
