There is debate to whether requisexualRequissexual should only be used by [[neurodivergent]] or [[disabled]] a-specsAspecs, or if it should be open to neurotypical and able-bodied a-specsAspecs as well. Though the original coining does not mention either specifically.
Requiessexual is an identity under the [[Acespec|Ace Spectrum]], and more broadly, the [[Aspec|A-spectrum]].

The Requissexual/romantic flag was made by tumblr user Hyaenahart sometime around or before October 1, 2014.<ref>[https://rogueshipagogo.tumblr.com/post/98931725965 The Requissexual flag by Hyaenahart, Reblog of Rogueshipagogo]</ref> The color meanings are as follows :
*Black: Aromanticism and Asexuality.
*Light Blue: Symbolises being at rest. The shade chosen specifically because it reminded the flag maker of a clear blue sky, the kind one would 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.
