The first hints of what would become the modern SAM began with 'affectional attraction/orientation' which was coined at some point in the 1980's. It's unclear when the term was first used. Coining for the terms as often attributed to Curt Pavola, a gay rights activist from Washington, and to Lisa Diamond, a psychologist. However, there are instances of the phrase that predate both of these individuals.
Around 2001 there was a push for a way to classify asexuals. One of the earliest instances to still is the ABCD classification system on AVEN<ref>http://wiki.asexuality.org/ABCD_types</ref>, which recognizes that some asexuals may feel romantic attraction. Around the same time there was a Yahoo e-mail group known as 'Haven For The Human Amoeba'<ref>http://wiki.asexuality.org/Haven_for_the_Human_Amoeba</ref>, where in 2001 there was discussions of
Other asexuals also began using additional attraction terms, such as emotional attraction, sensual attraction, and aesthetic attractions, starting in the early 2000s.<ref>[https://theacetheist.wordpress.com/2019/05/17/a-mini-history-of-different-types-of-attraction-in-the-ace-community/ A Mini History of Different Types of Attraction in the Ace Community]

The specific term "split attraction model" being used to describe this concept originated on Tumblr in 2015. The original use of the term was from aphobes and [[Exclusionist|exclusionists]] talking about how the ace community supposedly required that everyone (including non-asexual people) split their orientation into multiple parts<ref>https://vanillil.tumblr.com/post/128042336475/the-split-attraction-model-is-homophobic</ref><ref>https://legislacerator.tumblr.com/post/124764170311/can-you-tell-me-what-split-attraction-model</ref><ref>https://morwinyon.tumblr.com/post/122370182643/could-you-elaborate-on-the-split-attractions</ref>. The argument had some grain of truth to it, as a-spec communities often take SAM to be the default, although this typically only considered the default within the community. The term “Split Attraction Model” was adopted by a-spec communities in order to talk about the issue.<nowiki/>
