Requisromantic or requiesromantic is a romantic orientation on the aromantic spectrum. It is defined as someone who has limited or no romantic attraction, interest, or activity due to some form of emotional exhaustion. This emotional exhaustion may be the result of previous romantic endeavors or past experiences dealing with romance, or from something else that is emotionally draining.
There is debate to whether requisexual should only be used by neurodivergent or disabled a-specs, or if it should be open to neurotypical and able-bodied a-specs as well.[1]
Requisromantic is known as a micro-label, meaning that by saying that one is requisromantic it is implied that one is also aromantic, or another aro-spec identity. In this case aromantic is the primary romantic identity and requisromantic acts as a modifier, making a specific sub-category of aromantics.
History
Requiesromantic and its flag were coined by an unknown user.[2]
