House Rules call for several levels of discipline for House Boys who misbehave or fail to meet expectations. These range from Level Zero (non-contact punishment like verbal apologies or writing sentences) to Level Four (immediate banishment whether naked or not). Levels One through Three are punishments by spanking, with Levels Two and Three calling for use of implements and/or restraints.

A tiny number of specific rules call for ‘Enhanced’ discipline. These are offenses that are so inappropriate or where the boy has been so careless that he deserves punishment above and beyond what can be administered through a normal spanking. Enhancement of a punishment is defined as the safe insertion of a foreign object into the mouth or anus of the misbehaving House Boy prior to and during discipline. Objects normally associated with enhanced punishments include a bar of soap, cucumbers, dildos, battery-operated vibrators, anal beads, and similar items.

Another form of Enhanced Punishment is called figging. Figging is the practice of peeling and carving a piece of ginger root into a butt plug and inserting it into the misbehaving House Boy’s (anal) sphincter. The ginger oils gradually create a warm, then a mild burning sensation. During a spanking, the burning sensation becomes more intense if the boy disobeys instructions not to tighten the muscles of his buttocks and anus.

House Rules only call for enhanced punishments for specific egregious misbehaviors like farting or cussing in the presence of a guest or failing a mouth or anal cleanliness inspection. Since figging is a punishment applied to the boy’s anus, it is only administered for violations that involved the use of the anus, like farting or having a dirty bottom. Enhanced punishments – like any discipline – are administered when assigned, regardless of who may be present and could observe. Guests will be given the option of excusing themselves when his punishment is assigned, but the House Boy never has any say over who gets to watch anything he does, even getting his anus figged. The House Boy has misbehaved and is not entitled to privacy.
