The word omnisexual appears as at the 1878 critic of the novel ''O Primo de Basílio'' from Eça de Queiroz by Machado de Assis,<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20230804151459/https://machado.mec.gov.br/obra-completa-lista/item/download/93_ba9e781d3821d32a9cbffc78fbfa5bda

The word omnisexuality appears as early at the 1959 beat poet Lawrence Lipton's ''The Holy Barbarians'',<ref>https://archive.org/stream/holybarbarians001288mbp/holybarbarians001288mbp_djvu.txt</ref> but the first time it was described in the context of the current definition was in a 1984 text titled simply ''Sexual Choices: An Introduction to Human Sexuality''.<ref>https://books.google.com/books/about/Sexual_choices.html?id=xitHAAAAMAAJ</ref> This text described omnisexuality as "a state of attraction to all sexes", stating that some researchers believe that every individual is born omnisexual before developing their sexual attraction into the labels of homosexual, heterosexual, or other orientations.▼

The term spread even further in the early 1990s as M. Jimmie Killingsworth undertook an analysis of the poet Walt Whitman.<ref>https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/0895769X.1991.10542654?journalCode=vanq20</ref> In Killingsworth's study, he found that Whitman had a general omnisexual character throughout his work ''The Leaves of Grass''. In the 2010s, ''The Atlantic'' noted that his poetry expresses sexuality towards all genders, sometimes even the sea or the Earth.

Omnisexual was a common message board term in the 2000s. The knowledge of this term was boosted even further when several celebrities, such as Janelle Monáe and Brendon Urie, came out as pansexual. The media made several non-monosexual terms known in the mainstream as that took place. Many popular articles discussed omnisexuality alongside these celebrities' pansexuality.

▲Another alternate flag was made on July 22nd, 2021, by FANDOM user TheNelsonSystem. It was made by an alter with tritanopia colour blindness as an exact/near-exact version of what they see the omnisexual flag as. It's very similar to the existing omnisexual flag but less hard on the eyes and more dulled down.
