Sorry to barge in, I saw your post on torch_wood, I hope you don't mind me saying my two cents on this.
I don't think you're wrong at all. Regarding Jack and Ianto, I see them as fuck buddies more than anything else. There's no real romance there, but it's not a power trip type of relationship either, I don't think. I think they enjoy each other's company, in a sexual way, yes, but the relationship between the two is of equals, not boss/employee, despite Ianto insisting in calling him sir (I personally think he does it for fun,in a kinky sort of way, as a private joke) - and that might throw people off. But to me, above all, I think of Jack/Ianto as a sexual relationship between equals, not a domination/subordination type of thing at all! I think they like each other, they're utterly attracted to each other, but there's nothing one has that the other lacks. Jack is definitely not abusing his position as a boss for screwing around with Ianto after-hours, not the way I see it, anyway.
