Now let's say that same person is not in a relationship, for years, and does not have sex with any other person because they do not have a sex partner available who they are attracted to and in love with. Without those factors, they don't want to have sex with anyone.
Does this person have a high sex drive or not?
What you are describing isn't about high drive but about control. Just because a person has a high drive it doesn't mean they are driven to want to have sex.
As a man with a very high drive, since puberty and for 50 years hence, I can go a week without an orgasm but it's rare. Sometimes a couple/three a day or at other times that number in a week. Do I want to have sex with someone? Sure, but if it isn't in the cards I am in control.
FWIW, the person that isn't in control and has indiscriminate sex to
satisfy their needs, which btw doesn't work, is usually an addict.
