The reality TV star, Belinda Love Rygier, says that her sex addiction “ruled her life” and led her to sleep with over 700 men.
She explained how she managed to overcome her addiction and have a normal life.
Belinda “Love” Rygier, who started her TV career by participating in the 2017 season of The Bachelor Australia, said that she is following a recovery program and has been out of a relationship for 15 months.
The 38-year-old woman shared that at one point in her life, she would go out six nights a week just to seek new sexual partners.
During the peak of her addiction, dating apps were not available as they are today, the Australian presenter confessed.
Confessions of a Former Sex Addict
Belinda was invited to a radio show and confessed that she “didn’t realize she had a problem until she healed from it,” according to Mirror.
“When I recovered, I was convinced that there was an unresolved trauma from my past that caused my sex addiction,” she said.
Although her sex addiction had taken over her life, the woman says she was a “functional addict,” with a successful career that operated smoothly, keeping her secrets hidden.
The TV Star says she has “lost count” of the number of men she has slept with over the years but is certain it has exceeded “the figure of 700.”
However, she said she is “not ashamed” of the number of sexual partners she has had and still has a “high sexual desire.”
“Men were very good at telling me what I wanted to hear; it was about feeling beautiful, validated, and loved, rather than making love,” she said.
Why she is now practicing sexual abstinence
Belinda continued, “Society has declined, and we use sex for the wrong reason, which is quick or momentary validation from others.”
She confessed that she can no longer engage in sexual activities without having a strong emotional connection. “I will have sex again, but with someone I have a connection with.”
The TV star is now a “love guru” on social media and often appears on media programs to offer words of wisdom to her thousands of followers.
My Parents Didn’t Show up for My School Graduation — Their Excuse Is Ridiculous
This story paints a bittersweet picture of resilience in the face of repeated disappointment, highlighting how family isn’t always defined by blood but by those who show up when it matters. Britt’s experience with her mom and stepfather is heartbreaking—they consistently let her down over trivial issues, never recognizing the significance of her accomplishments or the impact of their absence. Through it all, though, Justin and his family became Britt’s true support system, stepping in when her own family couldn’t.
Her decision to distance herself after her high school graduation showed strength, and yet, years later, her willingness to give them another chance speaks to her forgiving nature. Unfortunately, the second letdown underscored a painful truth: some people, no matter how much you hope or forgive, will not change their priorities.
Britt’s journey reminds us that we don’t have to keep waiting for people who continually disappoint us. The relationships we choose can be just as strong and meaningful as those we’re born into. It’s a story of finding strength in oneself and in those who truly show up, and a reminder that we have the right to redefine family to include those who respect and support us.
