The House Boy may be required to serve Corner Time in addition to or as a substitute for any other punishment, whether at home or away. Corner Time may also be offered, at the Master’s discretion, as an option to lighten or lessen any punishment which has been announced but not yet administered. For this rule with regards to spankings, the term lighten means to reduce the duration, impact, or the number of physical swats — and the term lesson means to reduce the level number that a spanking is assigned or to reduce or eliminate one or more aspects of a punishment which contains two or more consequences or loss of privileges. When Corner Time is served in the Master’s home, nudity is always required, regardless of who may be present and could observe. Socks or light footwear may remain on unless discipline was assigned because of a violation relating to footwear or Washing Feet, Ankles, Or Toes (See below, Rule #91).

In the example photo, the House Boy is seen standing with Clasp Hands (Rule #8) as he begins mandatory Corner Time following a disciplinary spanking. Lighting and Mirrors (See below, Rule #320) have been installed in this corner, highlighting his backside and reflecting a frontal view, to allow visual examination for a skin condition of the impacted buttocks and to allow proper supervision of the House Boy while Corner Time is being served. The default posture for this punishment is standing with head bowed as shown, though a House Boy may be instructed to Kneel(Rule #263) at the Master’s discretion.

Corner Time is the most common form of discipline that a first-time visitor is likely to observe in the Master’s home since the House Boy is trained to be on his best behavior when new friends are present. If you imagine for a moment that you’re a guest to the Master’s home — and you just stepped inside and see the House Boy standing naked in a corner as pictured above — there are several subtle facts you can deduce by examination:

1. —> This Corner Time is not a substitute for a disciplinary spanking — because the House Boy’s buttocks are clearly reddened — so we know that Corner Time is being given in addition to a previously administered spanking.
2. —> The House Boy was wearing socks when he misbehaved (or when the violation was discovered) since he wouldn’t be allowed to put on a pair of socks just for discipline.
3. —> Whatever rule or protocol that the House Boy violated had nothing to do with the feet or ankles or toes since he wouldn’t be allowed to keep wearing those white socks during Corner Time after those particular types of violations.
4. —> His disciplinary spanking was likely administered at Level One (barehanded) and the violation was probably not for anything serious, since Level One Spankings are usually reserved for the most minor forms of misbehavior, and those pinkish buttocks show no sign of having received more than just a few swats. They also don’t show any color changes consistent with the use of a common spanking implement like a ruler or paddle.
5. —> He is probably a full-time House Boy and not one who was brought in just to serve for a pool party or weekend event like a reunion since only part-time and temporary House Boys are given automatic exemptions from pubic and underarm grooming and this House Boy has shaved underarms and a hairless pubic area.
6. —> This House Boy has a job outside the home or attends college or technical training classes because he is allowed to keep his forearm hair so that it won’t be obvious to coworkers or classmates that he body shaves. The Master only allows this type of exemption to the grooming rules for a live-in House Boy who is employed or attends classes.
7. —> The Master isn’t all that angry with this House Boy and wants to let him off easy, otherwise, the Master would call out the House Boy for failing to properly wear optional clothing. When optional socks are worn, they must be without holes and pulled up sufficiently so that they don’t sag and make the House Boy appear lazy or inattentive. (Long socks may alternatively be folded over so that both socks appear the same, which these aren’t). A House Boy who reports to Corner Time with sagging or unmatched socks is subject to two additional Level One Swats (one for each sock) followed by an instruction to remove the socks before and re-report to Corner Time (since the new offense is for a violation having to do with the socks themselves).

The protocol requires the House Boy to turn around and verbally apologize for his specific misbehaviors when any Corner Time is over. He should also apologize for being a distraction if anyone besides the Master happens to be present. The House Boy is also subject to a possible Buttocks Inspection (Rule #20) after any spanking to ensure there hasn’t been a minor injury, like a cut or other issue which may need a small bandage or the application of topical lotion or antiseptics. Since there is only minor redness visible, this House Boy will probably not be inspected.

The Dismissed Command usually follows any Corner Time, allowing the House Boy to return to his duties and chores or to perform any other necessary task like serving refreshments to guests. Reddened Buttocks Are Never An Excuse (See below, Rule #6) to resist, delay, or avoid any subsequent duty or chore regardless of circumstances. When Corner Time is assigned to a House Boy in the pool, it may be served in a shallow corner of the pool, or standing on the pool steps with his body exposed to air, or outside the pool but within view of the Master or guests.
