I'm trying to grasp the question WC.
Maybe I am not awake enough yet.

Do people try to use or seek intense physical experience or connection in place of, or to make up for a lack of, deep emotional connection?

I don't look for an intense "physical or emotional connection", I tend to think that you allow that to "Grow" .
It took me a long time to realise that I am a beautiful person inside with alot to give, and that the more I gave, the more that was taken, but now, my belief is the more I give the more I am just being me, and in that, I will find someone whom likes me for whom I am totally and I have the same belief in whom ever I will end up with in this part of the journey in my life, they are who they are.
When I was younger, much younger, yes, i probably sought after emotional connection, deep emotional connection.
But your setting yourself up for a fall if you seek this in a person instead of growing with a person and seeing those emotions get stronger and stronger, because all you are really doing is "seeking" instead of "being".

Is this part(or all) of the reason why some people are controlling and manipulative.

I don't see the two go together.
I believe that it's in their makeup to be controlling or manipulative, they are one sided perhaps, it has to be their way.
Put someone who wants emotional intense connection, with a controlling person and the controlling person will win because the emotional person will keep persuing this intensity, whilst the controlling one will feed off of it.
