Los Angeles, Feb 25 (IANS): Actress Lindsay Lohan has reportedly told her friends she is giving up dating and sex as part of an “emotional detox”.

According to a source, the 28-year-old, who got horrified when a list of her 36 former lovers was leaked last year, is planning to get her life and career back on track, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

“Lindsay is fed up with the emotional roller coaster that comes with dating, so she's told friends that she's giving up sex and dating in a bid to clear her head,” Closer magazine quoted the source as saying.

“She wants to have an emotional detox -- her routine is crazy right now and she's keen to have a more settled life. She knows that using men to boost her confidence is not the best way to feel good,” the source added.

Among Lohan's confirmed former lovers are Max George, Danny Cipriani and Calum Best. She was also rumoured to have had romantic links with James Franco, Justin Timberlake, Ryan Reynolds and Colin Farrell.
