Director William Higgins' 1984 classic "Cousins" is one of the most celebrated examples of male youth ever filmed. Not the least of its charms is the presence of a young Matt Ramsey (later known as mega-hung Peter North in hetero porn flicks).
Matt stars with Billy Gant as adolescent cousins. Billy and family are visiting the Ramsey clan, and after the bags have been unpacked, the boys share a joint out by the pool, and then decide to skinny dip. Later that night, as they are sleeping, Billy can't resist and takes a look at Matt's naked sleeping body. Billy lavishes attention -- caressing Matt's stomach, then his penis and balls, before moving the dick inside his appreciative mouth. Matt's notoriously huge cock literally grows as Billy is throating it.
Matt wakes up, recoils, and moves to the floor, alarmed at what he has discovered. His subsequent voiceover lets us know that maybe he over-reacted. He actually enjoyed the sensation, and he moves back into bed. Asking Billy about his experiences, Matt lets his cousin blow him again and then lick his buttcrack. Billy uses his tongue to sweetly savor Matt's luscious ass. Matt makes a confession -- he has always wanted to know what it's like to fuck a guy. So Billy jumps aboard and slides his butt onto Matt's lap. His bottoming is full of youthful excitement, as are Matt's eager-beaver grinds. Billy reaches orgasm rapidly, and then Matt stands over Billy and sprays his cum all over his cousin's face. This is the first male-male sex the Matt character has had -- and his reactions seem genuinely awkward yet spirited.
Billy leaves shortly afterwards and the cousins look forward to his return visit next year. His appetite whetted, though, Matt decides he wants more sex. Poolside, he orders a pizza. When delivery man Scott Roberts shows up, Matt opens the door in swim trunks and invites Scott in while he gets his wallet. He offers Scott a beer, and then convinces him to go swimming. Since no one is around, he can jump in sans shorts, theorizes Matt. They both strip down and dive in. Director William Higgins perfectly captures the seduction here. The two naked bodies move closer and closer until Scott is playing with Matt's boner. Matt jumps out of the pool and lets Scott give him a mouth-wateringly intimate blowjob. Matt is clearly more relaxed here, even if he is all trade. Scott plants kisses all over Matt's flawless torso, before he stands up, grabs his ankles and lets Matt bang his hole. At first they stand and hump, before they climax with a jackhammer missionary rut. Matt shows none of the hesitation he did with Billy. Talking afterwards, he and Scott both discover that their first times were with their cousins.
A three-way between Tony Kidd, Lance Whitman and Scott's cousin Cory Adams follows. Cory waves goodbye to his parents, who have left for the weekend, and raids the wallet his father has left behind. Lance and Tony come to clean the house and are scolded by Cory for their noise level. They bitch each other out until Cory is called a faggot; Cory calls a truce when he pays them money to suck him. Tony moves in and munches on Cory's dick, before the two cleaners tag-team Cory's erection. One licks the balls, the other licks the shaft, as Cory writhes on the floor. Soon, each of the men have gotten a mouthful of the other; the oral scenes are captured in exceptional close-ups. Penetration begins with Tony standing and getting his ass plowed by Lance, his hardon plopping back and forth as Tony slaps his naked, bony buns. During this time, Cory and Tony alternate deep-throating each other. Finally, seeing the pleasure Tony is getting, Cory asks for some cock, and soon finds himself on the ground with Lance up his rear and Tony in his mouth. Cory explodes while being banged, before the cleaners dump their jism on his teenybopper body.
Needing some R&R, Matt and crew (Brad Foxx, Steve Rodgers and John Andrews) go to the mountains. They camp out, roast some wienies, and fall asleep by the fire and nearby stream. When they wake up, they are horny as hell. The foursome start jacking each other off, but quickly match up -- Brad and Steve, John and Matt. Matt doesn't kiss or suck, but surprisingly he does open up his ass for John. His moans seem real, as John fills him to capacity. After they have found a rhythm, Matt seems to enjoy getting doggy-fucked, wagging his tail and coaxing John on, then getting on his back for a missionary ride. Meanwhile Brad and Steve go at it, Steve even shoving his meat in his jaws at one point. That meat finds its way up Brad in a rather heated sequence. They kiss mid-fuck, and Steve's strides are long and impassioned as he bends Brad's legs back and thrusts. It's a fairly lengthy boning as well.
After thoroughly poking Matt, Steve cums on Matt's ass, then Brad lets John drop a quart of cream all over his lips and face, Brad scrambling for every drop. Most erotically, with goo all over his mouth and cheek, Brad then orally tackles Matt.
Another menage-a-trois finds Cory, Rick Lane and Ricky Sport hiking in the same mountains. Some good-natured ribbing and a dare leads to some ass-kissing -- literally -- before the three lads disrobe, suck, rim and fuck in a beautiful al fresco moment.
The last coupling of "Cousins" is one of the best. Lee Landis and brunet friend Chris Allen are relaxing by the fireplace when Lee brings out his new stash of porn. The two look at the magazines, their excited dicks fly out and they both jerk off onto their taut chests. The next day, on an outdoor trip, crafty Lee brings out the same magazines, with the same results. This time, though, Lee tells his buddy that he bets his own ass could give Chris more pleasure than his girlfriend's cunt. Chris takes the offer, screwing Lee on a rock, hanging onto his partner's hips as he gets his first piece of male booty. Chris reaches orgasm and sprays all over Lee's face, before they go for a second round, this time Lee giving it up in an athletic Jeep-fuck.
Matt appears once more, driving by himself to the mountainside. Wearing a cowboy hat, he takes off his clothes, reminisces about all the men he has been with, and masturbates, cumming in slow-motion.
Beautifully shot, "Cousins" is both a visual and sensual treat. What Higgins captures best here is the joy of first-time sex, as many of these young men discover their sexuality with -- and inside -- each other.
DVD features: Chapter selections; slide-show gallery; and a superb scene from "Score," directed by Josh Eliot, with Ray Harley and Blake Harper (set to an operatic "score," with both men sporting fetching goatees and randy hardons, Blake begins the coupling by letting Ray absolutely face-fuck him until Harper's jaw is filled to capacity; teasing his buddy, Ray removes his cock, swings it for a while, then stuffs it back in; when it comes time to return the favor, Harley lays on his stomach and dives into the crotch of reclining Blake; these two studs fuck like rabbits, Ray sitting on Blake's lap and hyperactively bouncing; his orgasm is almost thunderous; not content to finish until Blake has reached the same effect, Ray lets Blake pummel his furry buns more; when Harper is close, Ray sucks him off until Blake spews hot lava all over Harley's virile chest).
