Young & The Hung, The (DVD)

Precondom.

Director William Higgins has so many bona fide "classics" to his name that some may be overlooked. "The Young & the Hung" shouldn't be. This tale of college- age guys and their carefree sexual exploits is a marvel.

The star here is Chris Lance, a fetching sandy-blond with a tight, hairless little body. He seems to be at the age when boners happen almost instantly, and in his motel room one morning strips down, grabs his dick, and jacks off in a lovely opening segment.

On the road driving a truck, Chris picks up hitchhiker Grant Fagan. The sly Chris chitchats with Grant about skinny-dipping, women, and jack-off contests, before he tells Grant he has some porno mags in his glove compartment. Grant grabs them and gets visibly aroused through his jeans. Chris, being the gentleman that he is, offers to pull over and take care of that rise while he jacks off. When Grant doffs trousers, he pulls out a thick piece of meat that Chris almost eats whole on the back of the truck. Moving back into the driver's seat, Chris has Grant feed him cock through the open window. What drives this pairing is Chris' sheer lust and Grant's relaxation under his partner's wing. Chris finishes blowing Grant and has the hitchhiker sit on his face for a bit, then almost demands that Grant plow him. Grant stands and hoists his sausage into Chris' smooth cheeks, and Chris doesn't even whimper. This is obviously a position he has been in before. When Grant has thrust away to climax, he lets Chris be the first to mount his ass. Grant does seem a bit uncomfortable as Chris obliges, but soon warms up and lets Chris sink all the way in, before more cum-shots are blasted.

Chris goes home and showers, and realizes he has the munchies. Not long after he has gone inside the motel's diner, he notices Brian Estevez playing pool. Chris practically drools as he looks at the cute brunet. He even rubs his crotch to get his attention. Brian is a bit startled, then leaves his game and heads to the john. Inside, he sits on a toilet, unzips and starts jacking an impressive dick. Chris stumbles in and grabs the next stall. They talk a bit and although Chris seems hesitant about playing in a public place, Brian assures him it's okay. Through a glory hole they both get a taste cock, and the oral interaction is shockingly carnal. When they have sprayed their first loads, they hasten to Chris' motel room where they go at it more heavily. As Chris rims Brian, Brian sucks his dick, leading to a moment where Brian rears his head, shifts his groin area forward, and has a seat on Chris' erection. They screw in two positions, Brian bottoming both times in a heated encounter.

A watermelon is put to sound use. Tex Anthony, Ken Kerns and Michael Gere, three strapping lads with sex on their mind, bring said fruit into a barn. In the absence of a woman, they've decided to fuck it instead. As they punch holes into the watermelon and determine who gets "pussy rights," it's very funny. Ken whips out his hardon, jacks a bit, then grabs the watermelon and skewers it. As he grinds away excitedly, Michael Gere begins to fondle his pert ass. Ken doesn't bat an eyelash -- nor does he jump when Michael actually rams his dick up his chute. Seeing that he has been left out of the equation, Tex moves in, places himself in front of Gere, and takes some of Ken's behind. This is a great three-way where the guys get more uninhibited as the night wears on. Soon, Tex has yanked down Michael's skivvies and takes his ass, showing no subtlety to his friend. Ken, meanwhile, has proven to be as good a cocksucker as he is a fruit-fucker, sucking Michael with ease. Finally, they go to the comfy environs of a bed and take care of the last bit of unfinished biz -- humping Tex. Tex gets on his back and lets Michael poke his silly, Tex masturbating the entire time.

Michael Gere later runs into college student Troy Ramsey outside, who has been traveling on his bike and misjudged the distance he was going. Seeing that it is nightfall, Michael invites Troy to spend the night in his barn, where he claims to have lived for years. Troy peels down to underwear and crashes. In a top bunk, Michael is unable to sleep because of the sight of those firms melons not far from him. No longer able to control himself, he gets up and moves to those buns. Gingerly pulling up Troy's undies, he begins to lick the fuzzy bum, then grabs a knife and cuts the fabric so that he can have better access. Troy wakes up, but instead of anger he relishes the hot tongue. Troy takes Michael's erection in his throat while Troy eats more butt. In a real surprise, it's Troy who gets shafted, at first from behind then missionary with more aggressive strides. Troy is a very butch bottom who stays hard while penetrated.

Brian Estevez peeks into the bedroom of luscious Frenchman Papillon, a man who wanks thinking he is alone, even going so far as to faux-fuck his pillows before he, and Brian, shoot their loads.

Camping outdoors, J.T. Denver thinks he, too, is alone, and starts to fondle himself. Couple Jim Erickson and Terry Evans see him and giggle. They change into their leather gear and decide to have some fun. Grabbing a chainsaw, they attack J.T.'s tent and jump inside, scaring the guy silly. When J.T. sees who it is, he is calmer. The couple's plan seems to be humping J.T., who is placed on hands and knees while Jim takes his muscled behind. These three are all gorgeous, especially the hard-driving Jim. What was supposed to be a lesson for J.T. then gets more equal opportunity, as the virile and mustached Terry puts his face near the ground and lets J.T. show his versatility on his cheeks. Terry is so horny he efficiently sucks off Jim as he himself is getting shafted by J.T. Cum-shots are plentiful in this loop, but the money-shot that registers the hardest is Jim's orgasm right on top of, and into, Terry's lips and mouth.

"The Young and the Hung" is sensational with the kinds of touches William Higgins has become known for -- seduction, versatility, sensational camerawork and energetic models -- and it all has been transferred to DVD handsomely.
