Paladini: Lindsay Lohan swaps cocaine for sex addiction

TROUBLED Hollywood star Lindsay Lohan has traded her dangerous DRUGS habit for a manic addiction to SEX, the lover she picked up in rehab has revealed.

Speaking for the first time of their fling, snowboard daredevil Riley Giles told how the wild-child actress craved marathon nights of lust as she broke off her lethal love affair with drink and cocaine.

In an exclusive interview he said: "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.

"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."

Potent

Extreme sports professional Riley, 24, met 21-year-old Lindsay while they were both having treatment for hard drug addiction at the Cirque Lodge centre in Utah.

The film star slipped the ski-slope hunk a secret note asking for his mobile phone number. Riley couldn't resist and Lindsay was calling him up right away.

"From that moment it was on," he recalled as he described their first snatched passionate kiss in a corridor, strictly against the rules. "The chemistry between us was so strong we couldn't help ourselves.

But once they left the Cirque Lodge— after 60 days on the programme—they moved into a romantic log cabin in the nearby mountains They locked themselves in and were at it like rabbits.

Riley revealed how Lindsay used orgasm after orgasm as a potent substitute for the huge chemical hits she was used to while partying.

He explained: "When you orgasm, your endorphins shoot up and it becomes a massive natural high. 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.

"And we didn't get out of bed for days. It was the perfect place—roaring fires with amazing views over the Sundance ski resort.

"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.

"Lindsay is so hot. She has a great body. Her backside is fantastic, perfect, all plump and round.

"She has great curves but her belly is nice and flat and toned. We couldn't get enough of each other."

And Riley insisted the connection between the pair wasn't just physical.

"Lindsay would tell me she loved me and I'd say that to her, too," he said. "And I don't say that to a lot of girls.

"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."

But Riley revealed their relationship changed when Mean Girls star Lindsay got back to Los Angeles to pick up her career. And he confessed he is terrified she might return to her bad old ways.

Haunted

"I worry because it must be very difficult to keep up your recovery," he said. "I couldn't do it. Lindsay has a very addictive personality.

And now she's switched habits again. First it was drugs, then it was sex, now it's shopping. Her whole day consists of spending—EVERY day. She gets her hair done every day and has a spray tan twice a week. I don't think it's healthy."

But Riley is convinced Lindsay is determined to stay off drugs. And he revealed how she confessed she is haunted by a horrifying near-death experience.

He said: "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."

Headline-grabber Lindsay was forced into her latest rehab stint after twice being arrested by cops.

Crashed

In May she crashed her Mercedes into a Beverly Hills tree then in July she chased and harangued the mother of her former personal assistant. On both occasions police found cocaine on her

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

He insists he still talks to Lindsay every day and is planning a reunion soon. But he fears his dream of setting up home with her has now crashed.

"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 LA so much I don't ever want to leave.'

"She's a great person but it's hard to have a girlfriend in LA who's surrounded by movie stars and doing whatever she wants. Sure, her friends were all nice to me. But anyone can put on a face and I don't know how sincere they were. There are a lot of fakes in LA.

"And sadly, I think people would rather see Lindsay with a movie star than some snowboarding guy."
