This song pretty much has two meanings, but they blend together.
I think there can be no disputing the sexual references here. This song very easily and in its entirety can be taken as a reference to hardcore, possibly kinky sex.
However, there's a slightly deeper meaning. Some, not all, of Alice's work around this timeframe did have a deeper meaning, and in this case it's love and the pains of a relationship. For example, "put me in your slammer" could reference both entering a woman sexually as well as succumbing to a particular demand or compromise in a relationship.
Besides these two generally interconnected interpretations, I don't see any other real possibilities. Yes, song interpretation is the responsibility of the listener, but in some cases (such as this one) there aren't many open ends.
