Courtney Love couldn't live without sex.
The Hole rocker - who has 21-year-old daughter Frances with late husband Kurt Cobain - enjoys getting intimate with other people and says lovemaking is top of her list of obsessions.
In a piece for XOJane entitled '50 Obsessions I Couldn't Live Without on my 50th Birthday', she wrote: "Let's start with my favourite. And that would be: Sex. Obviously."
The 'Doll Parts' hitmaker - who was recently pictured locking lips with model Amber Rose - also admitted she is a big fan of kissing.
At number 27 on her list, she wrote: "Epic kisses. Girls count!"
Courtney has famously feuded with a number of stars in the past, including Kurt's former Nirvana bandmates - who she made peace with at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in May - and Marilyn Manson, but she insists she no longer bares grudges.
Writing that "forgiveness" is another obsession, she added: "I'm 50, and I don't care what you said two years ago or yesterday. It's all good."
However, the outspoken blonde suggested people should still think twice about upsetting her.
She also wrote on the list: "Keeping people scared. Hell hath no fury like me!"
Other obsessions Courtney admitted to were "naughty words", "real estate shopping", "chanting", "acupuncture", and her artist daughter.
Of Frances she wrote: "My proudest accomplishment always makes me prouder. Her artwork is phenomenal, too."

Paris Hilton has given up junk food.
The 'Come Alive' singer has loved greasy burgers and fries since she was a child but has lost weight and feels much better about herself since changing her eating habits.
She told MailOnline: "I lost about five pounds just from staying away from the Drive-Thrus. I can feel the difference especially when I'm in a bathing suit.
"I used to eat that way, but I decided to change things this year. Now I don't do that. There are times when I will stop at a Carl's Jr, but I will maybe get a turkey burger or something healthier instead of a cheeseburger and fries. I am more careful now."
Instead, the 33-year-old socialite - who is dating 22-year-old model River Viperii - favours healthy juices, fruits and salads.
She added: "I like green smoothies, they taste good and they make me feel more energetic.
"I also like regular juices. I get a lot more vitamins these days, more fruits too, more vegetables, more protein, more salads."
While she has been taking more care of herself, Paris insists she will never be found in a gym as she prefers to stay active with more "tomboy" pursuits.
She said: "I have never been a gym person, it's not me.
"I don't think people expect to hear this, but I grew up a tomboy. I would always play ice hockey, go skiing when I could. I would surf, ride bikes, swim. I love to work out outside. I have always been very active."

Sharon Stone is "available for dating" again.
The 'Basic Instinct' actress admitted she was more focused on her children - Roan, 13, Laird, eight, and seven-year-old Quinn - "when they were little" but now they're a bit older she is "comfortable" with trying to find a new relationship.
She told Extra's Mario Lopez: "What's happened is my kids have reached the age where I feel comfortable to date.
"I didn't want to date when they were little. Who needs a bunch of people running in and out of their lives?
"Now I feel comfortable dating ... I am available for dating."
The star - who was previously married to Michael Greenberg and Phil Bronstein - has been recently linked to her old friend Antonio Banderas, who split from his wife Melanie in May.
A source previously said: "Antonio and Sharon have been great friends for years.
"They have always flirted outrageously and now they're closer than ever.
"It's all very relaxed at the moment and they want to keep it quiet out of respect for Melanie, but there's no denying the spark is there."
However, the speculation was later quashed.

Sia wrote her most popular single in less than an hour.
The 38-year-old star has claimed she penned 'Chandelier' - the lead release from her album '1000 Forms of Fear ' - in little over half an hour.
She told NPR: "I mean, 'Chandelier' took like four minutes to write the chords, then like 12-15 minutes to write the lyrics.
"Probably 10 or 15 minutes to cut the vocals."
She also discussed the way many pop songs follow a set formula, which largely centre on "victim to victory" tracks or "party time" hits.
She explained: "The 'victim to victory' theory is that, if you listen to the radio, a large percentage of the hits are ... about victim to victory, like 'I'm having a terrible time.'
"And then the pre-chorus is 'I don't know what's gonna happen next.' And the chorus is, 'Now I'm brilliant, and everything is great, because something happened to make it great' ... Then," she says, "there are songs like, 'Live like tomorrow doesn't exist.'
"About 50 percent of the songs on the radio are like, 'Live like tomorrow doesn't exist. Like it's my birthday. Like it's the last day of my life' ... Such a large percentage of pop music is really about party time."

Ellie Goulding broke up a fight during a concert on Tuesday night (08.07.14).
The blonde singer was on stage at the Eden Project in Cornwall on Wednesday when she halted her performance of 'Anything Can Happen' to stop a squabble between a group of girls.
According to Digital Spy, she initially said: "Girls, what's up? That song is meant to be happiness, not fights ... No drink throwing.
"It's not nice. It's really annoying and it's bloody sticky."
One of the girls tried to answer back, but Ellie quickly responded with a quick put-down to entertain the fans.
She added: "We've all got stories, doesn't mean you have to tell them."
She did show some support to the girls when the rest of the crowd started "booing" and jeering them.
She told the audience: "Stop boos. Booing isn't nice."
However, Ellie - who is McBusted bassist Dougie Poynter - took it all in her stride and made reference to the "laddish" audience later on in the show after performance some of her biggest hits.
She joked: "It's quite a laddish crowd tonight, fights breaking out, drinks spilling."

Lauren Goodger is being lined up for 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
The former 'The Only Way is Essex' star has reportedly secured a six-figure deal to appear on the next series of the Channel 5 reality show and bosses are hoping she'll dish the dirt on her former fiancé Mark Wright, who's now engaged to 'Coronation Street' beauty Michelle Keegan.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Lauren gets that one of the most interesting things about her is her up and down relationship with Mark.
"The producers stressed that they wanted some juicy details of their time together.
"They dated from 15 until their mid-twenties and Lauren has already spoken out about very personal things like the abortion she had when carrying Mark's baby. They're expecting bombshells."
The 27-year-old star's confessions won't go down well with Mark, 27, and his family and friends, who have branded her "desperate".
An insider claimed: "Mark thinks Lauren is completely obsessed with him and isn't prepared to move on. It's desperation on her part.
"As far as he's concerned that chapter is closed. He was with Lauren when he was young and reckless but his relationship with Michelle is the real deal."

Scott Disick has quit drinking.
The 31-year-old TV star is reportedly determined to stay sober to prove to girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian - who is pregnant with his third child - he is serious about their relationship and wants to get things back on track following a string of recent rows, TMZ reports.
Last month, the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star - who has children Mason, four, and Penelope, two, with Scott - kicked Scott out of their Hamptons home because she was fed up of his hard-partying ways and it is reportedly his drinking that causes tension, rather than his hectic social life.
Insiders insist Kourtney, 35, doesn't mind Scott going to clubs as he makes a lot of money from public appearances and it is good for her family's business.
And evidence of the businessman's new leaf has already been seen; as he made an appearance at New Jersey nightspot Harrah's Pool After Dark at the weekend - for which he was paid around $50,000 - but didn't have a single drink, though he did smoke "a bunch" of cigarettes.
The news comes after it was revealed the couple - who have been together for eight years - have been having relationship counselling with Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr., who officiated Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's wedding in Florence, Italy, in May.
A source said recently: "Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr. is actually counselling Kourtney and Scott over their relationship problems."
