Heleen van Royen Grateful for Erotic Empire: 'Can Pay for Pension'
Dutch author Heleen van Royen, 61, has generated financial stability by sharing erotic content on a paid platform for over a year, resulting in her new book 'Wat wil de man'. She describes the move as an artistic experiment and a way to ensure her pension is covered, noting that books now provide only minimal income. Van Royen rejects the label of sex worker, asserting her autonomy over her content and refusing to create custom requests. Through interactions with subscribers, she observes that men primarily desire to be desired and appreciated rather than vilified. Her partner, Bart, also joined the platform, and Van Royen views this venture as a secure alternative to her traditional writing career, allowing her to maintain financial independence while exploring her identity as a creator.
