After going public with her admission that she had slept with over 700 men, an Australian reality TV star claims to have faced her “sex addiction.”
Belinda “Love” Rygier, who made an appearance on The Bachelor Australia in 2017, reportedly disclosed that she went out hunting for sex up to six nights a week at one point in her life.
And although the figures involved here may seem startling to some, the 38-year-old eventually accepted that she had an issue that needed to be addressed and went through a rehabilitation program.
Not everyone is comfortable talking openly about their sexual lives, and for the most part, it’s not socially acceptable to brag about how many partners you’ve had.
Belina Rygier revealed that she had slept with at least 700 men, though she wasn’t positive of the exact figure, therefore disclosing her entire “body count” was a step toward her recovery from addiction.
The TV personality who later became a relationship expert revealed in 2022 that she had been celibate for 15 months and was eight years into her recovery on the You’re a Grub Mate! radio program.
“I didn’t realize I had the issue until I resolved it. I continued drawing toxic men into my relationships, which was the problem, she said.
“After I got well, I believed that my sex addiction was being caused by some unresolved pain from my past.
“It controlled my life, but you wouldn’t know on the surface that I had a great career and was a functioning addict.”
Belinda, who rose to popularity on The Bachelor Australia, stated that she is “not ashamed” of the extremely high number of sexual partners she has had. She also disclosed that she would frequently go out as much as six times a week in search of a mate.
“Men were excellent at giving me what I wanted to hear; it was more important to feel loved, beautiful, and validated than it was to have sex,” the woman stated.
Belinda has declared her conviction that people use sex these days for the “wrong reasons” and is hence leading a celibate life.
“We’re using sex for the wrong reason—a moment of instant validation—and society has declined,” the speaker stated.
“I’m going to have sex again, but this time with someone I really connect with.”
