Well, I think it can go both ways. Sometimes things you are very close to are too hard / angsty to write or to write well, but there is also the catharsis of writing something out.
I think some of my darkest non-con torture stories were largely a scream of anguish. It was a really bad time for me and that's one of the ways that expressed itself. Having said that, as rahirah (http://rahirah.livejournal.com/) mentioned there is the sexualized pain as a kink aspect. I've been thinking about this lately and it's confusing for me because it can be both. It can be an expression of intense internal pain but it can also be something that I just enjoy reading.
