Sex addiction is a serious disorder that can lead to many dramas in the life of the person struggling with it. Therefore, it is important to talk openly about all addiction mechanisms, their sources and the recovery process itself, because it can significantly help others. Of course, therapy under the supervision of a specialist and contact with a doctor are necessary in such situations.
Recently, Belinda “Love” Rygier, a participant in the popular TV show, spoke about the long-term struggle with sexoholism in a moving confession “Bachelor for the Take” in the Australian version. she opened up about her difficult, traumatic past. Currently, she is a certified sex educator who decided to turn her experience into helping other people. It organizes e.g. training camps where he teaches how to deal with addiction.
The reality TV star has opened up about her addiction. “I used to go out and look for a hot guy”
The star of the reality show has been living without any intimate close-ups for 15 months. In an interview, she confessed that she had had sex with 700 men so far and suffered from an addiction to casual sex. The 38-year-old recalled that the addiction greatly affected her relationships with friends. She thought about sex all the time: she said that she accosted strangers by offering them intercourse.
“I’ve hit rock bottom,” she told the Daily Mail. She mentioned that during mundane activities, such as grocery shopping, she asked herself if a given man would be interested in her.
I would leave the house and look for a hot guy. Sex made me feel loved. Love was missing in my life and I was looking for it this way
she confessed. Now calling herself a “love coach,” Belinda also revealed that she has lost track of her sexual partners. She said there were “more than 700”.
“I thought it was unhealed trauma”
The turning point in Belinda’s life was the moment when addiction led her to a situation of immediate health and life threat. She wanted to press charges against a man who was abusive towards her.
“When he pushed me down the stairs and locked me in the garage, I had a black eye and thought my arm was broken. When the police arrived, I heard that because he had a scratch on his arm that I made with the ring when I tried to defend myself, we could both go to prison for domestic violence, she explained.
It was then that she realized that she needed to seek professional, specialist help. She noted that she “wasn’t aware of the problem until she started treatment”. So she began her therapeutic path, and changes in her life – as she herself mentioned – began to occur very quickly. “When I recovered, I thought it was some unresolved trauma from my past that was causing my sex addiction,” she added.
She also began to look for the sources of her compulsive, self-destructive habits. She found many of them in a difficult childhood. The star was ridiculed by peers, among others because of being overweight, she did not have a very good relationship with family members, nor did she have any friends.
I thought it was some unhealed trauma from my past that was causing my sex addiction
she confessed.
“It ruled my life, but in my professional life I was doing great, I had a great career,” she said. Later, when she was in the process of recovery and began to openly talk about her addiction, she began to receive threats, insults and intrusive messages from men. She now lives a happy life. In an interview with the Daily Mail, she emphasized that one of the keys to freeing yourself from the clutches of addiction is to “look at your relationships”, “heal the pain” and give yourself love.
