For what it's worth, I do think it's generally not that hard to understand why any given thing is fun, and it's usually not that complicated and for reasons that generalise. Individual variation is usually more down to whether you can / it's worth it to get into it.
On specific examples: * Pain is fun because it increases pleasure sensitivity and grounds you in your body. * Degradation I'm less clear on, but I think it's a total surrender thing - it forces you to fully immerse yourself in and engage with your enjoyment of the experience.
But equally it's not hard to understand why those don't work for any given person - some people are more pain sensitive than others, so the downsides outweigh the upsides. Degradation can be a huge trigger.
Hmm, so, I think some sensations involving mild amounts of pain can ground my in my body & increase pleasure sensitivity - but don't produce anything that matches the conventional vibe of "fun." What is it that makes this "fun", rather than just enjoyable or beneficial?
Aren't these similar to the trauma theories, though? E.g. "if you generally feel like you can't take care of yourself, then a submissive fantasy is fun because that being someone else's responsibility lets you more fully immerse yourself in an experience without worrying".
I think they're similar in the sense that trauma can dial up or block aspects of what causes them to be fun, but my point is that that because they are fun the trauma is not needed as an explanation for why people are into them.
I think both total surrender and pain could help to overcome fear of death, to relax and comply with anything universe throws at you.
