Intekänsla is a term for those who have a form of attraction that is much more intense than how most people experience it, and effects some form of their identity because of it. Someone with this may experience romantic orientation, sexual orientation, relationships, and/or possibly even gender in a different way because of their intense attraction. This term is especially useful for those who experience hypersexual attraction, and feel as though it effects the way they percieve and live out parts of themself.
Because this can, in some cases, effect ones gender, it may be considered a xenogender in certain cases.
Some examples are listed here.
