Adam,
I suppose that I have to agree with you and all the horde of others who posted here: OK, anger management. Go ahead. Do it. Can't hurt...might even help. Some. But I'm only agreeing in part, reluctantly-- and only agreeing that far because I figure the bunch of you would stop reading if I said "don't do it, it's not what you need." Then you'd all start attacking me, and my point would get lost in the melee. So, OK, anger management, with reservations.
But, the way I read your story, you do not suffer from the problem that "anger management" is designed to relieve. You're not angry. You are not a walking bomb, always ready to blast anyone who comes near you. You don't leave a trail of physical and psychological damage wherever you go.
You've shown one instance of violence, with one individual, once.
Which tells me that you need less to examine your anger, and more to examine your-- pardon me that I say it-- rather peculiar relationship with that individual.
It seems to me that the "problem" could lie in whatever it is that makes you two need anger and "rough sex" to keep your relationship going. In other words, the problem is both of you, not you alone.
Which leads me back to my beginning: sure, anger management if it'll make you feel better. But if you want to get to the bottom of things, think about a bit of couples counseling along with your girlfriend. You might find that there's more than anger to your problem.

When in trouble,
Or in doubt,
Run in circles,
Scream and shout.
