But even you agree there is such a thing as "kinds of sex that have been previously established they are willing to do"
And such acts,surely are not rape, unless person A states to person B that sexual act number C, which has been acceptable the first 3 years, is no longer acceptable now.
This is of course a possibility: Person A might not feel happy to do it, because, say they had surgery and it's now painful. Or because their mom has died and they're depressed. And if they make clear through words or clear body language that the act is undesired, person B must of course stop. And should not coerce further on basis of "it being okay before".
But if person A says nothing, then person B has no way of knowing that sexual act C, which has always been perfectly pleasurable withing their relationship, is suddenly not acceptable. Unless they're highly empathic, but not all people are.

Which was my point all along.
