Following Flynt's alleged religious conversion, he introduced 'Chester the Protector', a reincarnation of the molester character who served as a hero to protect young girls from rape and seduction. After increasing citicism, the cartoon became 'Chester and Hester', featuring Hester, an unattractive middle-aged woman who was either Chester's wife or girlfriend. Each month's issue depicted Chester, a cartoon middle-aged pedophile, joyfully raping or molesting young girls. Р”Р„nother Hustler feature that was heavily criticized was the ' ChesterРІР‚вЂ¦theРІР‚вЂ¦Molester' cartoon. The Beaver Hunt section of the magazine contains explicit nudes of amateur models submitted by readers. In keeping with Hustler's focus on the seamier and less romantic aspects of sexuality, Honey Hooker, unlike Fanny and Wanda, was explicitly portrayed as being a prostitute. This feature was designed to compete against Playboy's LittleРІР‚вЂ¦AnnieРІР‚вЂ¦Fanny and Penthouse's WickedРІР‚вЂ¦Wanda. She might be in American colonial times one month and in a Super Bowl locker room the next. In each installment, Honey would have graphic sexual encounters with any male (or female) she ran across. In the 1970s, Hustler ran a comic strip feature entitled 'Honey Hooker'. The following is a list of 'Hustler Honeys' by month (models listed with only first names are pseudonyms): Occasionally the models are pornographic actresses appearing under a pseudonym in the mid-80's, actresses and strippers appeared under their more familiar names. The centerfold pictorial is called the 'Hustler Honey'. However, as of 2016, reform in the feature has yet to be seen. After Flynt's imprisonment in 1977 and his alleged conversion to evangelicalРІР‚вЂ¦Christianity, he promised to reform 'Asshole of the Month'. An illustration depicting the criticized person's head emerging from the anus of a cartoon donkey is shown alongside the article. In every monthly issue of the magazine, a public figure is selected for severe criticism as that month's 'asshole'. One feature of Hustler is a column called 'Asshole of the Month'. There have also been Australian, British and South African versions of the magazine.Р”Вuring a bookstore signing in July 2011, Flynt stated that less than five percent of his income comes from the print magazine he also speculated that the print magazine would not be around in two to three years.

In 1999, the magazine created a minor controversy in Canada by inviting readers to submit sexually explicit stories about SheilaРІР‚вЂ¦Copps, a left-leaning member of the Liberal cabinet. In general, Canadian Hustler imitates the appearance and tone of its American counterpart, with Canadian content added. This magazine is not owned by Larry Flynt but is licensed to publish material from the American version. The abbreviation 'L.F.P.' originally stood for 'Larry Flynt Publications.'Р”Р„ Canadian version of Hustler is published by a Quebec-based firm. Hustler is officially published by LFP, Inc, which also produces pornographic films.

The chain's flagship store is on SunsetРІР‚вЂ¦Boulevard in WestРІР‚вЂ¦Hollywood. Other enterprises include licensing the Hustler name to the HustlerРІР‚вЂ¦Club chain of bars and clubs and the Hustler Hollywood store chain that sells adult-oriented videos, clothing, magazines and sex toys. Larry Flynt Publications also licenses the Hustler brand to the HustlerРІР‚вЂ¦Casino in Gardena,РІР‚вЂ¦California, which was owned directly by Flynt as an individual through his holding company El Dorado Enterprises. It frequently depicts hardcore themes, such as the use of sexРІР‚вЂ¦toys, penetration, oralРІР‚вЂ¦sex and groupРІР‚вЂ¦sex. Today, Hustler is still considered more explicit (and more self-consciously lowbrow) than such well-known competitors as Playboy and Penthouse. It shows explicit views of the female genitalia, becoming one of the first major US-based magazines to do so, in contrast with relatively modest publications like Playboy. The magazine grew from an uncertain start to a peak circulation of around 3 million in the early 1980s it has since dropped to approximately 500,000. Introduced in 1974, it was a step forward from the Hustler Newsletter, originally conceived by founder LarryРІР‚вЂ¦Flynt as cheap advertising for his stripРІР‚вЂ¦club businesses at the time. Hustler is a monthly pornographicРІР‚вЂ¦magazine published by LarryРІР‚вЂ¦FlyntРІР‚вЂ¦Publications in the UnitedРІР‚вЂ¦States.
