Relationships and orientations that can be described as objectum are found throughout human history in mythology, folklore, and the lives of real people.

The term "objectum sexuality" was coined by Eija-Riitta Eklöf and two other objectum-sexuals in the early 1970's. In 2008, Erika Eiffel and Oliver Arndt founded Objectum Internationale<ref>http://objectum-sexuality.org/</ref>, an organization dedicated to providing education about the orientation both to people questioning themselves as well as the general public. Since then its members have made appearances in documentaries, on news programs, and in journalistic publications. Unfortunately, the organization has had to withdraw support for many of these features due to sensationalized and discriminatory editing of interviews that result in willful misrepresentation of OS people.
Objectum sexuality saw a surge of interest and recognition on Tumblr in the 2010's, independent from the community formed around Objectum Internationale. [[File:Conceptum.png|thumb|169x169px|Conceptum flag]]
