 ==History==
-Imagesexual was first coined on May 3rd, 2019 by tumblr user pop-pop-rockz as 'imaginesexual'. The user describes his experience as a collection of his sexual thoughts about his partners, or even people he has made up, that make acts such as masturbation easy and enjoyable, while he is afraid of engaging in sexual intercourse in real life<ref name=":0">https://pop-pop-rockz.tumblr.com/post/184622857449/oumas-on-his-bullshit-again-here-we-go-so-ive</ref>. He states early on that he could never find a label that fit his experience, so he made one for himself. His definition of imagesexual was defined as the joy of imagining sexual thoughts and desires, but refusal to act upon them due to lack of interest or fear.

While the definition of the sexuality was changed, the flag remained the same as the original post. The remade post describes imagesexual as the feeling and adoration of daydreaming about sexual encounters with a real or fictional person, but preferring the thought of the act over the act itself. The user states in his post that he identifies with imagesexual while also being attracted to men exclusively, describing himself as 'homoimaginesexual'. He describes his experience as imagining many real life sexual scenarios with men that he has made up, but he would never show a true interest in carrying out the act, even if he found his type.
