I feel bad about not updating this in so long but i've been working on other art projects and they have actual deadlines

so I’m thinking of writing a story with an ace main character. set in the 19th century / steampunk. Sci-Fi. But I got stuck… do I have the creative license, since this story is partially fantasy, to have my own character coin the term asexual? or how else can I introduce asexuality considering in that time period they probably didn't use that term or have one. If anybody has ideas please let me know.

@acetheist The term was not used in the 19th century, as no one identified as such. Because this is a fantasy story the term 'asexual' could certainly be coined by your character. However since homosexuality was also unheard of, you may have to think of a different term such as 'Interclose' instead of intercourse or something like that.
