The publisher has a philosophical point of view about bondage and exposes it on page 2:

BONDAGE IS LOVE

What? Love? How can it be love to tie someone up and make them totally helpless? Even spank their buttocks and tease and torment their bodies? And then to take possession of them sexually and spiritually, denying them all apparent consent and control?

Believe it or not, that definition of bondage fun and games as a loving act is real and sincere. This is not a perversion, a form of cruelty, or anything to do with rape. Such things are the realm of criminals and sick minds, and have no place in our brand of fantasy play.

Our basic creed here at Lyndon is one of mutual consent. The human body responds to all sorts of stimuli, but responds more intensely when those stimulations are not only physical, but also to the mind. The joys of role playing fantasy games are well known to psychologists. Why is it so very difficult to understand the wants and needs of loving, consenting adults to add fantasy to their sexuality.

Pirate King and Captive Maiden. Cruel Inquisitor and Beautiful Heretic. Cowboy Buckaroo and Hog-Tied Heroine. Roman Master and Pagan Slavegirl. All of these games and more are available to loving partners with vivid imaginations of dreamers and the freedom of attitude to make their dreams come to life. This is the most trusting, sharing, and genuinely unselfish kind of love of all.

It is to help stimulate those imaginations, provide the jumping-off points for fantasy play and dreams that all of our words, pictures, and factual articles are about. We are here to give guideposts and suggestions, to teach and to share, and also to encourage you to do what dreamers have done since the dawn of humanity: don't merely dream it — be it, and if not in reality, be it in the pages of our many fantasy publications.

This issue offers four pictorials and one short story. All models wear panties, stockings and garter belts and most wear pumps.

Coming in Cord

A porn actress who's had a long day on the set, Sally gets kidnapped in an office building by a stranger. In a vacant suite, he binds her with thick clothesline at ankles, knees, chest and wrists. He ties her to a cot and gags her with a wide leather face harness.

Bitch Lover short story

In this first-person narrative, a lovely model replies to a kinky artist's advertisement. She decides that she must have this young beauty and puts her in bondage, pretending to re-create a Greek myth. She demands boot and body worship and uses a whip on her captive.

Loving It

A leggy blond gets roped at elbows and wrists, then ankles and knees. A leather strap fixes a ball between her lips. On the carpet, she's hog tied.

Housewife's Hotseat

Brenda gets aroused and exhausted by looking at her husband's adult magazines. After her nap, Bill, her husband's employee, arrives and announces that he will harvest her heat. She likes the idea, but Bill insists on foreplay that consists of binding the blond.

He ties her to a chair and a carpet-covered saw horse. Then, ankles and wrists are roped together and she squirms on a rug.

Bonded Broad

A ball gag silences a sultry house-sitter, who first gets roped at ankles and wrists and across her sweater. Later, she's fastened to the beams of the house, and to the balcony railing.
