IIRC, it's something like his Mistress controls his behavior by inflicting intense pain on him until he does her bidding and rewards submission with intense pleasure, and then conditions him to always seek her approval. I think there's a chapter or two on this, and then I think somehow his love for another woman allows him to break his conditioning. I might have given up on the book around that point.
