==History and Literature
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.▼

In the 2010s, ''The Atlantic'' noted that his poetry expresses sexuality towards all genders, sometimes even the sea or the Earth.
