Deliberate vs accidental controllers?

[Milkwood]

Where does the "Homecoming" story fit into the above as it is a bit like salmon returning to their spawning grounds. A racial memory perhaps, which may make them aliens in our midst, or, maybe even controlled by an AI as all the link ups in the story appear to be random and any port in a storm will do ?

I mean it kind of implies that the men are being controlled to, to a certain extent, so it doesn't follow the usual controller/controlee paradigm.

"Accidental and reluctant" is bad. 

"Oh my goodness, woe is me!  I can control minds!  I am, as we speak, fucking both my hot girlfriend and her hot sister.  This is terrible, I am such a bad person."

Blech.  Accidental/deliberate doesn't matter but "reluctant" is a recipe for disaster.
