The first recorded instance of a model of orientation taking into account split attraction was in 1879, by Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, a German writer, who published 12 books on [[Unstraight|non-heterosexual]] attraction. In those books Ulrichs came up with various classifications of orientations which are fairly similar to modern LGBTA+ identities. Among his works he described individualswho are 'konjunktiver and disjunktiver' or 'conjunctive and disjunctive [[bisexual]]ity'<ref>http://hubertkennedy.angelfire.com/FirstTheorist.pdf</ref>. The first is described as one who has both 'tender' and 'passionate' feelings for both [[men]] and [[women]]. The second is one who has 'tender' feelings for men, but 'passionate' feelings for women (if the individual was a man- the reverse if they were a woman). However, Ulrichs' model never caught on due to the complexity. |
