Lindsay Lohan a sex addict

MAYBE we should not be surprised, but Lindsay Lohan apparently has a new addiction. Sex.

Yes, the woman once dubbed "fire crotch" by bitchy rivals - and who is at the centre of lesbian rumours - has been outed as a raving "nymphomaniac" by her former boyfriend.

Riley Giles, who met the star in rehab, broke the stunning story in Britain's News of the World.

"Lindsay's definitely a nymphomaniac. She's wild in bed. We'd have sex a couple of times in the day and then go to it through the night," he said.

"We once did it four times in a row straight. That was crazy. Lindsay was insatiable. She'd demand sex again and again. We'd go at it for hours. She'd have worn out most guys."

The 24-year-old professional snowboarder says the wild-child actress - who has publicly battled booze and drug demons amidst lurid gossip about her forays into lesbianism - slipped him a note asking for his phone number while they were both cleaning up their acts at a Utah rehab facility.

"From that moment it was on... The chemistry between us was so strong we couldn't help ourselves," he recalls.

Giles gushed about Lindsay's impulsive behavior, her seduction techniques, and her near-death experience.

After their two-month rehab stint came to an end, the duo rented a cabin and went "at it like rabbits," the British tab reports.

"If you have an addictive personality like Lindsay, you need that to replace the highs you got from taking drugs all the time. Sex became a key part of her recovery," Giles said of Lindsay's desire to trade drugs for sex.

"And we didn't get out of bed for days.

"The first time we had sex I couldn't believe I was looking down at Lindsay Lohan naked. We'd barely gotten through the door when we just ripped each other's clothes off," he recalls.

During their brief affair, Giles says Lindsay told him all about her drugged-out days when she nearly killed herself.

"She was in a London hotel and had been out partying all night and taking drugs. Back in her room she downed a load of Xanax anti-depressants and alcohol to mellow her out. She started running a bath, climbed in and before she knew it she'd passed out.

"As the bath overflowed she was totally unconscious and it was only because her assistant ran in and saved her that she didn't drown. Lindsay said that was a terrifying wake-up call and showed her just how close she was to losing her life through drugs.

"Lindsay felt her life had become totally unmanageable. She drank from the moment she left work then stayed up all night doing coke."

But then as soon as she began to open up, it was over. Lindsay returned to L.A. to salvage her career.

"Her whole attitude changed about three weeks after she got back there," he said. "It went from I want to move to Utah' to Oh, I love L.A. so much I don't ever want to leave.'

"She told me she'd only ever had three serious boyfriends and I'm one of them. We even planned on getting a house and living together out here in Utah. We were together every day for a month and after that I could tell she really loved me a lot by the way she cried and cried when we had to say goodbye at the airport," he recalled.
