I've been stressing about my Sanity Score since I took it (scores me as basically normal, despite having issues that I definitely think are problematic). Looking through this thread is helping.

I have never had a desire to engage in sexual activity, period. Should I answer "not at all" because my sexual desire remains unchanged or "most of the time" because I have no interest in sex? If I compromise and choose "sometimes" would that indicate I sometimes desire intercourse or that I am sometimes distressed by my lack of a libido?
This question messed me up too. I have little desire to engage in sexual activity and never really have. I have a libido, I get horny, I've entertained the idea of having sex, it could be nice with a partner I trusted and felt connected with...but I'm honestly rather indifferent to whether I ever actually do or not. It's not much of a need for me; I can satisfy my urges myself just fine, generally. I'm not asexual, but sex isn't that important to me. I think I answered "not at all". Because my level of desire hasn't changed, it's always been that low.

I've only worried about my lack of sexual interest in the sense that it kind of makes me feel like a freak amid posts or texts or other discussions expressing strong urges or a longing for sexual contact.
