No, this is not an issue with other domain extensions because as I stated Huster's trademark is tied to a particular class of products: erotica.

If a company that offers travel services, and not erotica, was named Hustler Travel Agency, they could register Hustler as their trademark with the class of products being travel-related services such as hotel bookings and airline ticket sales. They could then use the domain Hustler.travel and not conflict with Hustler.com because they offer different products and services.

This is not the case with the .XXX extension which causes an immediate trademark conflict with adult industry trademarks registered as .coms.
