Discipline in the form of a Basic Over The Knee Spanking may be administered either barehanded (Level One) or using an implement like a belt or paddle (Level Two) onto the bare buttocks of any House Boy for failure to meet expectations or for rule or protocol violations which do not specify a different spanking position or type of discipline, with punishment at home commencing immediately at Master’s option regardless of who may be present and could observe.

All violations by the House Boy are punishable at Level One Discipline unless otherwise specified in the rules and protocols. Punishment at this level calls for a bare hand spanking on the House Boy’s bare bottom and is the most common form of discipline. More serious violations like Disrespect To A Visitor may bring discipline using an implement at Level Two, and egregious misbehavior may even call for the addition of restraints at Level Three. When a disciplinary spanking is called for, punishment may commence immediately regardless of who may be present and could observe.

There are several positions that may be used for corporal discipline, the most common of which is the Basic Over The Knee Spanking. The House Boy can easily be placed over the Master’s knee just about anywhere he can misbehave, from the living room or den inside the home to the pool area outdoors. The Master can even sit on a rock while working in the unimproved land near the back of the property. This type of ‘instant justice’ is reminiscent of spankings used in parental settings of generations past, and is generally viewed as a safe and efficient method of administering correction without breaking the flow of activity or conversation longer than the actual time needed to bend the misbehaving House Boy over the Master’s knees and quickly impact with the hand (or an implement like a shoe) onto his exposed buttocks.

A Basic Over The Knee Spanking may also be administered to a House Boy who fails to meet expectations when traveling with the Master away from home. Any clothing which the House Boy happens to be wearing may be quickly removed (or his pants merely lowered to present the target area), though there may be occasions where local laws and dress codes may prohibit this type of discipline. In these situations, the Master may have to choose between spanking without baring the buttocks, transporting the House Boy to a nearby location where discretion will allow bare bottom punishment, or announcing discipline but deferring it until a later time. At the Master’s discretion, the House Boy is subject to double the number of assigned swats if punishment must be deferred or is administered over any layer of clothing, except a jockstrap.

In the example photo, a temporary House Boy is about to receive a Level Two Spanking in the Basic Over The Knee Position, with a hairbrush as the chosen implement for punishment. The Master will use one hand to spank the target area and the other hand to grip and secure the House Boy so that he is less likely to roll over and injure himself. The Master does not concern himself with which body parts may or may not be explicitly visible to others in the room, though the House Boy is often directed to face away from others to reduce the possibility of whining or non-verbal pleas for mercy.

For all disciplinary spankings, the Master has the right to determine the strength and number of swats to be administered as well as the spanking position that will be assigned, unless a rule or protocol specifies otherwise. Consideration will be given to the House Boy’s length of service since collaring, his attitude and demeanor and previous behavior, and whether the violation was intentional or accidental, or negligent. The Master may also consider disciplinary recommendations volunteered by others who happen to be present. The Master will count off all swats administered in the Basic Over The Knee Position, and Corner Time (See below, Rule #120) may complete the discipline at the Master’s discretion.

Following punishment, the Naked House Boy is Dismissed to carry on with his assigned duties and chores. Reddened Buttocks Are Never An Excuse (See below, Rule #6) to delay or avoid any activity or chore, regardless of who may be present and could observe. The Basic Over The Knee Spanking may also be administered to a House Boy who has not misbehaved, as part of a demonstration of a technique or Educational Initiative (Rule #119). When a House Boy is required to submit to a non-disciplinary spanking of this nature, swats will be limited to the minimum number and strength necessary for demonstration of technique.
