It is a punishable violation for any House Boy to sit backward in response to a Sit Command (See below, Rule #313). The boy will be disciplined not only for failure to obey instructions but also for disrespect or insubordination (if accompanied by inappropriate words or gestures). Discipline will be administered at Level Two with an Enhanced Spanking using an insertion or Figging due to the intentional misplacement of his buttocks (See below, Rule #74).

Sitting backward at other times is also prohibited but punished at Level One (not enhanced), except that the boy is permitted to sit backward on his own on outdoor furniture in the yard and pool area (except during home events) and any furniture in his bedroom or study area. Permission to sit backward may be granted by the Master at any time and lasts until the boy’s next rest period of four hours or longer unless revoked sooner.

A new sub-Command ‘Sit Backwards’ has been established to require the boy to sit as shown in the example photo. The protocol calls for the boy to seat himself and then fold his hands, interlocking his fingers over the back of the chair without blocking the view of his face or genitals. This sub-command is mostly used when visiting people or places where the Master senses that the boy would be more comfortable sitting backward than forwards, or when the Master wishes to keep the boy’s penis pleasantly framed for viewing.
