In all other areas it is.
Once consent is established by a course of action it creates an obligation for a party to give notice in order to withdraw the consent. That is what the courts have determined is fair in other situations so why not with sex? Why is it such a burden to withdraw consent?
You are basically trying to live in a fantasy land. I've been married. I have spent a lot of time with other married couples. No one asks permission each and every time before they touch their spouse.
Withdrawing consent is not a burden. All this does is create a trap where a person can be charged with a crime for doing what he/she has always done without being given any notification that it was no longer acceptable.
"No" means "no" but someone has to say "no" before anyone can get in trouble.
