Every philospher ever is just Plato or trying to be anti-Plato. Only Heidegger and Nietzsche are trying to light a new spark in Plato's looming shadow.

I still want to post it so if that OP is still around, here you go.

It sounds like you have some self-inspecting to do anon. I'll give my opinion, take it or leave it.

First off, nothing is inherently evil. I guess things can be used with what you could call 'malicious' intent, but that's about as much I'll give you as far as your term 'evil' goes. So as far as sex is used in all kinds of media, I suppose it can be done in healthy and unhealthy ways, so you may have a point in a way: it is possible that sex is forced into all kinds of media, not always sensibly and not always improving our relation with and view of sex. But it's also possible that sex is a prevalent theme and subject, because it's a big part of nature/life and the human drive and psyche. Then it would just be a logical thing that it pervades almost everything.

Domination and submission are not necessarily an inherent part of sex, at least not in the fifty shades fantasy way. It is a common factor of the interplay, but with natural and spontanious sex, it's a balance that shifts back and forth in between the acts of love and even during a single session. Unless we're talking specific fetish sex with a set-up in mind, but in a way this is more 'playing at' and make-believe and a specific kind of indulgence that I would personally not see as 'natural sex'.

If the fysicality of sex gives you offense or troubles you, you should see it as a sign of your underlying christian background of values, which is pretty much against anything fysical and denies it in favour of something "higher", effectively denying life itself and creating dishonest categories and judgements. The sense of self-hatred you feel is especially typical, shame, self-hatred and self-denial are sensations and instincts engrained in christianity.

Maybe you see fysicality as opposed to rationality? Maybe you think a part of you is above sexuality and fysicality? You should consider the kinds of assumptions you make in your judgements.
