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.

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