Playguy (April 1978)

Fantasy is a major theme in the three short stories featured in this April 1978 issue of Playguy: in “Pulling Rank,” airman Robert Jefferson daydreams about his commanding officer, Captain Parker; in “The Wish,” the narrator – a runaway from his father’s abuses – longs for the affection of the older Max, who takes him in; and, in “The Ritual,” the erotic fantasy between two men brings their relationship closer. Also contained in this issue are reader-submitted fantasies as well as photospreads titled “On the Beach,” “Lumber Jock,” and “Rough Riders.”
