6X what I actually really like about Heleen van Royen
There was a time when I found Heleen van Royen a bit much, and beloved Ton far from elegant. As a duo, I can't say they had an extremely attractive effect on me. They were quite enamored with the concept of ‘naughty’ and I found naughty a silly word. At least, if you've passed forty. My five-year-old daughter is naughty. But anyway, I found something, as we all sometimes find things.
Then Heleen suddenly had contact with Bart. And guess what, Bart works at our company again. That's how I met Heleen in real life. We were in a hotel where our men worked and she was rushing up and down the stairs because she had to reach her many thousands of steps. It was a perfect staircase to run up and down. Then I find you likable.
Now people have something to say about Heleen again. Because Heleen is simply a woman about whom you have an opinion. This weekend, I parked myself in the sun with all the newspapers around me. It was Heleen's weekend. Her sex diary has come out and everyone wants to know everything about it and have an opinion.
Nothing human is alien to me, so I went to the bottom of it. And you know what? I found something. Of course. I liked her. And here's why.
1. Heleen doesn't obsess over her sex life
She does write about it, but she is averse to ‘look at me having incredible sex all the time’. When a journalist notices that she might be having sex much more often than the average person, she wonders about it. Maybe she does it a bit more often, but that's mainly because she has more time and her children no longer live at home. I think that's a nice answer.
2. Heleen wants us to talk
Also something I completely agree with her on. Once you have a steady relationship, you don't really talk about your sex life out of politeness anymore. Frequency, duration, positions, aids: we don't do that. While it can be quite nice to benchmark a bit with girlfriends.
3. Heleen hopes to help us
She mentions that in the beginning of her relationship, there was a danger that he would climax but she wouldn't. Now that can happen occasionally, but it shouldn't become a habit. So she made it a topic of discussion during a dinner. She says: ‘If I find it a bit difficult to bring it up, I can imagine that it is difficult for many women to name it.’ She hopes her book helps with that a bit and I truly believe it.
4. Heleen is honest
About dry spells after menopause (but there are very nice lubricants for that), about small breasts and the treat of two new ones, about vibrators and that she thought she had to do without during the first half of her sexual life.
5. Heleen says it right
Sex is fun (as long as it's with the right person and 18 plus) and it's free. Should I add that it's healthy? And cozy? And that you produce a happiness hormone?
6. Heleen brings us the womanizer
In the Vrouw supplement of the Telegraaf, Heleen decides to share the contents of her candy jar with us. From butt plugs and stimulating lubricants to the Womanizer: an avocado-shaped device with a silicone tip that stimulates your clitoris. And of course, we are all quite curious about that. Just for that reason, it's good that someone opens the shutters.
Heleen, it probably won't matter to you at all what everyone thinks of you, but if I may speak on behalf of team Amayzine: two very big thumbs up. And you look absolutely fabulous. That Bart is quite lucky.
