   “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/

   “The whole cult manosphere thing is nuts” Pro Fighter and Dominatrix – Monique Etienne

   Join the H-Hour Patron Community at patreon.com/hkpodcasts ***** For this Icebreaker with Muay Thai fighter Monique Etienne, answering patron-submitted questions she breaks down the hardest part of Muay Thai—its brutally full-contact nature—contrasting it with junior karate where you had to pull strikes and she was once disqualified for making contact. She reflects on her two losses, including a 2024 bout against European champion Sigrid Kanan and an earlier amateur fight soon after her dad died that helped prompt a gym change, insisting “losses are lessons.” The chat hits fighter reputations, her own style as calm but confident, and a sharp take on the manosphere—calling Andrew Tate “a dick” while arguing the trend is “symptomatic” of wider male disenfranchisement—before rolling into the full episode. https://link.me/ladyblackvenus https://www.instagram.com/ladyblackvenus.x/

   “I was either gonna die out there or make it” – British adventurer Annasley Park

   Join the H-Hour Patron Community at patreon.com/hkpodcasts ***** In this episode I welcome Annasley Park - a British adventurer and former elite cyclist who, after overcoming career-ending injuries and an eclectic journey through sports and global exploration, became one of only nine women ever to row solo and unsupported across the Atlantic Ocean. https://annasleypark.com/ We discuss Park stumbling into elite cycling after overtraining as a runner (Osgood-Schlatter’s and back pain), joining Team GB at 17–18, learning the brutal technicality and team tactics of track/road racing, and racing at the Doha World Championships alongside Lizzie Armitstead, while managing chronic pain, weight scrutiny, WADA/UKAD restrictions, and internal politics. We talked about the end of her pro cycling due to EILO (exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction) and unaffordable surgery, triggering an identity crash and jobs from cleaning to running a solo chalet in the French Alps, then four years in superyachting. After burnout and glandular fever in 2023, she did a 10-day silent Vipassana course, trauma-informed somatic training, and set out independently to row the Atlantic solo; after capsizing 10 hours in, she decided, “I was either gonna die out there or make it,” completed 54 days, and now builds a resilience framework around solitude, magnitude, and attitude, emphasizing authentic reputation, clear “why,” and support during reintegration.
