The story concerns a bisexual hustler (Joe Dallesandro) who does tricks so that he can pay for his wife's lover's abortion.

Critic Reviews
-
Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Flesh offers a funny look at the underbelly of the city.
-
Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall
The way Morrissey keeps things natural and real is both bracing and important

Jeremy Heilman, MovieMartyr.com
By comparison to the aimless young adults of Flesh, the troubled teens in any given Larry Clark film seem downright motivated.
