Here's a REAL grey area, though: what if that person changes their mind during the process and doesn't say so? For whatever reason they feel too intimidated or pressured to say they're having second thoughts? Is THAT rape?
It is rape, but you can't charge the rapist. If a person consents, and changes their mind later on during the act, without obviously removing their consent (either physicaly or verbaly), then how is their partner supposed to know that their partner is no longer consenting?
