Some have said that BDSM is fun but to me; that is waaaaaay too inadequate. As is your own "sustain interest" term. That's like asking how one sustains interest in the opposite sex or a need for intimacy. I'd like to think the only reason I lose interest in such things is because I'm deceased and that when I turn 110, I'll still turn my head to look at a pretty girl walking by (and wish I really were deceased.... lol).

I think this might be an issue of language/semantics.
When a question is asked of bdsm, or when I answer in terms of bdsm I mean solely some kinky activities I like to do.
I'm not talking at all about relationships.
Hmmm, an interesting point.
The term 'BDSM' has always been too broad a brush to cover my specific needs and interests in the lifestyle, so I tend to favour 'D/s'.... But when someone else poses questions using the BDSM term (such as the OP), I still presume they're speaking broadly to all of us on the Boards, esp when they don't specify. Or, just because I mostly say D/s, I don't single out others who reply using broader BDSM analogies, because I still get the gist of their point. So perhaps you're correct when you say "an issue of language/semantics."
That said, as much as I both need and enjoy the sense, order and unique dynamic our lifestyle brings to me as an individual, to say it's "fun" (while often true) is still way too inadequate for me. It makes me think of mere kink and scening etc.... <shrugs>, more semantics, perhaps?
Focus.
