Yes indeed. Action based "safe words" are necessary if gagging is called for.
Usually though, partners who know each other well never actually have to use or hear them. We know each other well enough to know when no means no without hearing that cute non-sexual word, whatever it happens to be.
Indeed. Beyond gagging, you have to consider the possibility of your partner being restrained and blindfolded as well. If anything can be said about this sort of play, communication is key. Consent is something to be taken very seriously, particularly in this sort of relationship.
