I don't think the implications of that sentence would have been missed by the censors.
Full frontal male nudity was still very rare in UK cinema at the time so to have two penises in one film guaranteed an X certificate.

I liked The Hunger too.I thought it was a different and stylish take of the vampire movie genre.
Sounds like the US X-Rated version was the UK Cinema version.

I truly think The Hunger was a very stylish and amazingly believable take on the vampire legend.
