Hustler - June 2016

Hustler is a monthly pornographic magazine that was launched in the United States in 1974 by Larry Flynt. Initially, it evolved from the Hustler Newsletter, which primarily served as inexpensive advertising for Flynt's strip club ventures. Over time, the magazine experienced significant growth, reaching a peak circulation of approximately 3 million, although this number has since declined to around 500,000.Hustler gained notoriety for its explicit depictions of female genitalia, making it one of the first major U.S. magazines to do so, especially when compared to more conservative publications like Playboy. Currently, Hustler is recognized for its more explicit and self-consciously lowbrow content, often featuring hardcore themes, including the use of sex toys, penetration, and group sex. The magazine remains a notable competitor in the adult entertainment industry.
