Yes, it makes perfect sense. The relationship needs to be based on fundamental trust. A basis, a foundation that is secure while fantasies are shared and explored.
I've always had a difficult time with humiliation for the same sort of reason. I don't mind calling a girl "piggy" or the like while being dominant, but it is hard for me to be critical. It feels disingenuous to berate a BBW for the same features I'm turned on by or for getting bigger at the same time I want her to get bigger still.
