TV Star Slept with 700 Men – What She’s Doing Now Will Shock You
An Australian reality TV star went viral after admitting that she had slept with over 700 men, but now says she is facing her “sex addiction.”
Belinda “Love” Rygier, who was on *The Bachelor Australia* in 2017, shared that there was a time when she would go out looking for sex up to six nights a week.
Though this number might shock some people, the 38-year-old eventually joined a recovery program after realizing she had a serious problem that needed to be addressed.
Talking openly about one’s sex life is not easy for most people. Many believe that sharing how many sexual partners you’ve had is not something to brag about.
However, for Belinda Rygier, admitting her “body count” of over 700 men was a step toward overcoming her addiction. She couldn’t say the exact number but knew it was at least 700.
The TV star, now a relationship coach, told the *You’re a Grub Mate!* radio show in 2022 that she had been working on her recovery for eight years and had been abstinent for 15 months.
“I didn’t realize I had a problem until I started healing,” Belinda explained. “The issue was with my relationships, and I kept attracting toxic men.”
“When I recovered, I realized there was some unhealed trauma from my past that was causing my sex addiction.”
“It controlled my life, but I was a functioning addict. I had a great career, and you wouldn’t have known anything was wrong on the surface.”
Belinda, who became famous on *The Bachelor Australia*, said she’s “not ashamed” of having an unusually high number of sexual partners. She shared that she would go out up to six times a week to find someone to sleep with.
“Men were good at telling me what I wanted to hear. For me, it was more about feeling beautiful, validated, and loved rather than just the sex,” she said.
These days, Belinda is practicing celibacy and believes that people today use sex for the “wrong reasons.”
“Society has declined, and we’re using sex just for quick validation or a moment,” she said.
“I will have sex again, but only with someone I have a real connection with.”
