TV star slept with over 700 men – now she’s been practicing abstinence for 15 months
An Australian reality TV star became famous online after admitting she had been with more than 700 men, but she now claims she has faced her ‘sex addiction.’
According to reports, Belinda “Love” Rygier, who was on The Bachelor Australia in 2017, shared that there was a time in her life when she would go out searching for hookups as many as six nights a week.
Even though the numbers might seem surprising to some people, the 38-year-old eventually went through a recovery program after realizing she had a problem that she needed to face.
Talking about your sex life isn’t something that everyone finds easy. For most people, bragging about how many partners they’ve had just isn’t the right thing to do.
For Belina Rygier, talking about her total number of partners was an important part of her journey to beat her addiction. She revealed that she had been with at least 700 men, but she wasn’t exactly sure of the final count.
The famous TV star who became a relationship expert shared on the You’re a Grub Mate! radio show in 2022 that she had been in recovery for eight years and had not been in a relationship for 15 months.
She said, “I only realized I had a problem after I fixed it. The trouble was with my relationships, and I kept drawing in unhealthy guys.”
After I got better, I realized that there might be some old wounds from my past that were making me struggle with my sex addiction.
It controlled my life, but I managed to keep things together. I have a successful job, and you wouldn’t guess anything was wrong just by looking at me.
Belinda, who became well-known from The Bachelor Australia, mentioned that she’s “not embarrassed” about having a lot of sexual partners. She shared that she would frequently go out as many as six times a week to meet someone to hook up with.
She said, “Guys were really good at saying what I wanted to hear. It was more about feeling pretty, appreciated, and loved than just having sex.”
Lately, Belinda has been focusing on staying celibate because she thinks that nowadays, people often use sex for reasons that aren’t right.
She mentioned that society has gotten worse, and now we often use sex just to feel good for a short time or to get quick approval.
“I will be having sex again but with someone I have a connection with.”
