I haven't the smallest problem with a person, including Buffy, 'using' sex. Casual sex or sex purely for pleasure is fine with me, as long as both parties understand it as such and do it for the same purpose. This was not the case with Spike, who was clearly in love with her.
It isn't the 'sexual control' Buffy takes, but the maipulation and straight out disregard...
But it didn't make me hate her character at all. It was just a mistake.
I initially loved the idea of a Buffy/Spike relationship, even one of that nature. I think over the course of season six it was run into the ground by sheer repetition. I was bored.

If by 'taking sexual control' you mean being sexually assertive and willing to have casual sex - nope, didn't bother me at all. But then, I loved season 6, how dark it was, how messed up everyone was. Very dramatic.
I was far more bothered by some of her previous relationships. As someone above mentioned, she completely used Riley. Even though I found Riley boring, I thought the way Buffy treated him was really low. And casual sex with Parker bothered me, I think because she was so clearly being used. And because that whole episode seemed gratuitously 'sexed-up'.
Buffy and Spike wasn't out of character for Buffy at all. She'd always used sex to deal with her problems.But I liked the Buffy and Spike relationship. Yes, it was f****d up, but pretty equally so on both sides. I think they really did love each other in a strange way, they just expressed it unhealthily. let's face it Buffy wasn't exactly playing with a whole deck at the time, and Spike always had some serious psychological issues, so the relationship was bound to be weird. But they loved each other, that was the main thing. Even in season 7 Buffy said Spike was her boyfriend in her heart or something like that.
To surmise, Buffy choosing to have casual rough sex didn't bother me. (That'd be hypocritical 
). Buffy using people and letting herself be used bothered me many times. It didn't just happen in her romantic relationships either. Made me really dislike the character sometimes.

Didn't Faith say that slaying made you hungary and horny. I think Buffy was taking on the darker aspect of the slayer, as Spike represented her dark nature and like Faith to a degree was revelling in something she had control over.
