Carmen Electra gives its fans what they want.

The 50-year-old star, who became famous as a sex symbol in the 90s, tells PEOPLE that “it was like a no-brainer” to join the subscription-based OnlyFans service to create content for his fans.

“I just felt like, ‘Yeah, I have to do this,’” Electra explains. “I have, for once, this opportunity to be my own boss and have my own creative vision to share with my fans without anyone standing over me and saying to me,‘ do not, do not. Cover this. ‘ “

She teases that her profile, which launches on Wednesday, will include beauty tutorials, holiday content, swimwear and lingerie photos as well as “sexier, classic photos and videos”, while allowing her to be “a little bit more intimate” with her fans in one-on-one interactions.

And if she wants to “show a little more,” Electra notes that she does not need to censor anything risky with a strategically placed heart or star emoji, as she has had to do on Instagram.

“People still want to do what they want with your photos, you might as well have control over them and keep up with what you feel like inside,” she says.

That Baywatch Star’s latest career move comes after she in recent years filed lawsuits against several strip clubs for using her likeness without her permission.

“It feels really good to stand up for yourself,” she says. “I think what we’re going through now is that people are finally standing up for themselves and who they are … It’s not always easy to do that, but I respect people who can stand up. for who they are and be honest about it. “

Electra’s first OnlyFans post will feature content from her recent trip to Palm Springs, where she called her milestone’s 50th birthday with friends.

“It’s something of an annual thing, because then all my friends can come and I get a house and we’re just having fun. And I like to treat my friends, that’s just the way I am,” says Electra. “I pay for the house, and then we just have the best time grilling and swimming. I love it there, so I have a home away from home.”
