“If we had to get rid of one of our values, it’d be tolerance, because we put up with too much shit”Pro Fighter and Dominatrix – Monique Etienne

Join the H-Hour Patron Community at patreon.com/hkpodcasts ***** For H-Hour #282 I welcome Monique Etienne, a Muay Thai fighter and dominatrix, for a wide-ranging conversation on masculinity, relationships, censorship, and national identity. We discuss the rise of figures like Andrew Tate - does it reflect young men feeling attacked or undervalued? We debate chivalry and evolutionary sex differences, and discuss modern dating, porn, the “orgasm gap,” and whether married men using sex workers or porn can be morally acceptable. Monique explains her path from stripping to fetish wrestling/BDSM sessions, her Sex & Rage project bridging sex workers and non–sex workers, and her Substack on “sex, morality, censorship and fighting,” including opposition to the UK porn “choking ban” (“I’m just against censorship in general”). We cover men’s mental health, self-criticism, fear and capability, Total Kombat - a booming new fight promotion, self-defence, and end on immigration/patriotism, ideology, and trans people in sport. https://link.me/ladyblackvenus https://www.instagram.com/ladyblackvenus.x/Send us Fan Mail This episode is sponsored by Sin Eaters Guild - sineatersguild.co.uk Support the show Free H-Hour giveaways and exclusive access to guests. https://patreon.com/hkpodcastsH-Hour on Substack: https://hughkeir.substack.comH-Hour on WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaWSj4p05MUbVlHmFu3yH-Hour on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@HHourPodcast
