Larry Flynt took his tin can to Capitol Hill earlier this year. Mr. Smut went to Washington to ask Congress if they’d kindly slide a few billion of those stimulus dollars over to porn.

Of course, Flynt came home empty-handed, but the porn king refuses to leave his fans that way. Call the Fed: Flynt’s beautifully slick, thoroughly sexy Hustler.com is the true downturn antidote.

Sign up and kiss your depression fears goodbye. A Hustler.com membership is a sweet recession-era deal that gets you a Mega Pass to flash at more than 20 sites — including Muchas Latinas, Sinful MILFs and Asian Fever — for unlimited access to more than 5,000 scenes. And heads up to all Hustler magazine fans: there are 8,000-plus photos of some of the hottest models to ever pose for the brand that made its name as a smut glossy.

For a site that’s packed with loads of DVD content, piles of pictures, webcam feeds, and a dating portal, Hustler.com is deceptively trim and user-friendly. Lean tool bars help you move easily between entire DVD titles, individual scenes and a dynamic search engine that lets you dig by model name or by your favorite categories. Pick the scene you want, and find it hyperlinked with star names and lots of categories. The DVDs appear to be well cataloged, although some scenes have the wrong model names. You can buy the whole disc with one click through Hustler Hollywood, or click scenes to stream or download with your choice of the latest formats.

“Hardcore Since '74” goes the Hustler motto. By some calculations, that means the porn empire has survived half a dozen recessions. So chin up, Mr. Flynt — with three-and-a-half decades of hardcore know-how fueling Porn 2.0 as excellent as Hustler.com, you may have the only real stimulus any of us ever really need.
