A former sex addict and Bachelor contestant has spoken up about having sex with 700 men. She also talked about the precise moment she knew she had hit rock bottom.

Today, Belinda “Love” Rygier calls herself an “Intuitive Love-Confidence Coach.”

The relationship guru, 38, explained that she has been in recovery for eight years and has been sober for 15 months. She has opened up about her shocking past as a way to help people struggling with pain and trauma.

At the height of his addiction, Love slept with more than 700 people and would go to clubs up to six times a week in the hope of finding a lover. She felt that sex was the biggest priority. It did not matter if she was doing something as routine as shopping for groceries.



The former reality star, who found fame on Matty J’s season of The Bachelor in 2017, said she was dealing with ‘unhealed trauma’ and is not ashamed of having a large number of sexual partners.

“I’m really looking for more of the energetic connection, not just the sexual exchange,” she explained.

‘I didn’t know I had the problem until I cured it. The problem was with my relationships and I kept attracting toxic men.

‘I thought I was the common denominator, what’s going on.

‘When I recovered, I thought there was some unhealed trauma from my past that caused my sex addiction. It ruled my life but I was a functioning addict, I have a great career, you wouldn’t know that on the surface,” she added.

In a conversation with Daily Mail Australia, Love explained that she hit rock bottom when a man she was sleeping with grew violent. However, she could not press charges against him because she “scratched” the man in self-defense during the incident.

“When he pushed me down the stairs and locked me in the garage, I had a black eye, and they thought my hand was broken,” she told the news source.

“It was pretty bad. I went to work, and they sent me home. The police came, and they said because he had a scratch on his arm from my ring, after I tried to get him off me, we could both go to jail for domestic violence.”

“That was my turning point. I thought, ‘I have to help myself.’ That’s where the journey began, and it was a very quick transformation. Once you decide [to change], it happens very quickly.”

As a result, she operates boot camps in an attempt to support victims of trauma.

Because she was open about her past and addiction, she dealt with judgmental trolls. She has also received lewd and sexual comments.
However, she will not let such issues bring her down.

She understands that love is not a competition or a challenge, which is what many sex addicts tend to believe. Love knows it is crucial to heal the hurt, love yourself and figure out your attachment style and language to recover from this problem.
