If you want unseemliness then you should see the film that Nick Broomfield didn't make about all the places he researched before dwelling on Pandora's Box. As it is the film, plays on the safe side but does attempt to draw on the underlying motivations for people's curious needs.
The film's conclusion is that the dominatrixes that staff Pandora's Box, a high class brothel on Manhattan's 18th St just off 5th Ave, provide a much needed therapeutic environment. Mistress Raven's pleasuredome is just a good place to let off steam and maybe understand the forces, often found in childhood, that led to your particular quirk. And no it doesn't always have to involve pain.
There is an attempt to categorise people's various addictions: Whether to fabric of one sort or another, corporal punishment, constriction, socio-political roleplay (Jews who like to re-create Nazi fantasies, blacks regressing to the plantation eg.) and so on. Like other attempts in this direction, such as Katherine Gates book Deviant Desires, the filmaker is not exhaustive in his presentation of the full breadth of fetishism. But hey! We do only have an hour and a half.
This film exclusively centers around dominant/submissive themes. It errs on the side of good taste by only addressing the more palatable female dominating men or occasionally other women scenarios.
In short, Pandora's Box turns out to be not such a bad thing to open after all, just as long as you've got plenty of money.
