A lot of it depends on your definition.

Yes it is possible and pretty common to only do kinky stuff and power exchange as part of sex or as a once-in-a-while role play.

At the same time, a lot of people consider themselves to be full-time slaves because the Master or Mistress is always in charge and always has the final say. It doesn't mean they spend all their time locked in the basement wearing leather nipple tassles and a butt plug. Just like the rest of society, most of their time is taken up with paying bills, cleaning the house, visiting family, buying groceries, commuting to work and all the other normal things you need to do to survive. But if they are always following the rules of the dominant partner and always at their service, they can still be a slave whilst they are serving you at the bank or visiting granny at the nursing home.

I'd venture that very few people live porn-style fantasy slave lifestyles all of the time. Think of the expense and difficulty it would place on the dominant, since that person would be unable to support themselves.

So yes, it is possible.
