Requiessexual

Requissexual or Requiessexual is an orientation defined as someone who has limited to no sexual attraction, interest, or activity due to some form of emotional exhaustion. This emotional exhaustion may be the result of previous sexual endeavors or past experiences dealing with sex, or from something else that is emotionally draining.

There is debate to whether Requissexual should only be used by neurodivergent or disabled Aspecs, or if it should be open to neurotypical and able-bodied Aspecs as well. Though the original coining does not mention either specifically.

Requiessexual is an identity under the Ace Spectrum, and more broadly, the A-spectrum.

Etymology

Flag
The Requissexual/romantic flag was made by tumblr user Hyaenahart sometime around or before October 1, 2014. The color meanings are as follows :
 * Black: Aromanticism and Asexuality.
 * Light Blue: Requis means rest and blue seems to symbolise being a rest. The shade chosen specifically because it reminded the flag make of a clear blue sky, the kind you’d see when resting in a grassy field.
 * Light Yellow: From how Yellow seems to be a very “active” colour, and requissexuals/romantics are individuals who experience very little to no sexual/romantic attraction because of being drained energy and emotionally wise.
 * White: To represent something similar to black, perhaps also the lack of attraction.
 * Grey: Represents the possible confusion that a lot of Aspecs may have. Grey also seems to be a staple in many Aspec flags.
