Re: How would you feel about asexual characters in a story/book?

If it’s set in the last few years in an area/milieu and with characters that are likely to know what asexual means, go for it. If the context for finding out is the character getting hit on and turning someone down with “no thanks, I’m asexual,” and you want to drop an explanation, maybe have the character who was turned down look confusec and have someone else say “don’t feel bad, they’re not into sex with anyone, it’s not just you,” or similar.

If you’re setting it in a fishing village on the coast of Cornwall in 1850 or something, you’ve got a lot of research on your hands and it’d probably be better to have any asexual characters be bachelors/spinsters unless you’re going for sexuality centered angst or drama.

Yes, I think it definitely depends on the setting. Someone in present day who's heavily involved in LGBT+ circles I feel would be more likely to know what it means, outside of that, probably not so much.
