Cyrena, I can give you another answer to this:

For me, personally, it is indeed an "identifying factor" for the simple reason that it's a powerful mental and physical desire that intrudes on me every day, whether I'm ready for it or not, whether I have time for it or not, whether I have an available partner or not, whether I'm in love or not. If it's been 24 hours, and often sooner, a delicious sexual fantasy crosses my mind, or a horny physical feeling takes hold, or I simply start feeling aroused, any of which can lead to the others, etc. And if I just ignore it, which I often have to, of course, at work, etc., the fantasy/feeling desire just comes back more and more frequently. The sex drive is very much there even if I don't have a partner who comes on to me (which of course I'd much prefer). It's just life in the high-sex-drive lane. Nothing new for me there.

But I thought it might help you understand the nature of why it appears to "identify me" as an issue. It doesn't mean it's the only way I relate to people around me, or the only way I related when my wife and I were sexual. But if an HD person is married to an LD or ZD person, then, of course, those are the labels that become overly "identifying" to each partner.
