Command – Palms
The command ‘Palms’ requires the Naked House Boy to stop and face the Master with feet under shoulders and hands upturned so that the boy’s palms face the sky or ceiling, fingers are stretched outward and parallel to the ground or floor, and thumbs extend outward from the palm of each hand. A neutral expression is appropriate for this command, which is usually given prior to an order to carry an object or when a hand or arm inspection is imminent.
The protocol calls for the House Boy to first set down anything he may be carrying that could spill, break, or cause injury before facing the Master to obey the command. The boy must take care to keep his hands at waist level so that they do not block his penis and testicles from view, which could bring a Level One Spanking.
On extremely rare occasions the Palms Command will be given prior to objectification or application of restraints for a Level Three Discipline.
