The Worship Command is an instruction that requires the House Boy to immediately drop to his knees and elbows while facing the Master. The House Boy’s forearms should extend toward the Master with hands held together and knees placed at shoulder width. The command sequence is completed with the House Boy dropping his head to the floor while keeping his buttocks elevated.

The Worship Command is rarely given in social settings, but may be used on rare occasions at home or on the Master’s property prior to the announcement of Enhanced Discipline for misbehavior, or to facilitate attachment or removal of a Leash or Lead. This instruction is sometimes given as a Demonstration Command to show lifestyle guests the totality of a House Boy’s commitment to the Master, or to facilitate a Genital or Anal Inspection conducted from behind.

In the example photo, the House Boy is given a Worship Command after being fitted with a collar and leash to demonstrate his obedience, while a guest stands just out of the top of the photo in an adjoining room. The visitor has politely moved out of the way behind the House Boy so that there is no question that it is the Master who is being honored and respected.

The Worship Command may also be used for the official transfer of the House Boy custody to a Temporary Master if the Master needs to be away for a short errand or other responsibility. In these cases, the word 'Worship’ will be followed by the name of the person assuming the responsibility of Temporary Master, and the House Boy is expected to face the Temporary Master and complete the command. If a custody transfer is made verbally or by prearrangement and the Master gives no Worship Command the Temporary Master has the right to give a Worship Command after the transfer has been made, though this formality is rarely exercised.

The House Boy is subject to receiving touch-up grooming or Spot Cleaning (Rule #57) while holding still in the Worship Position if a skin or body hair issue is observed or reported. The Worship Command is not used while a House Boy is traveling with the Master while clothed in a public setting, nor may it be used by a Temporary Master under similar circumstances.
