Commands and Protocols — Seven Point Position
The Seven Point Position is one of several preparatory and demonstrative commands which may be abbreviated to a single number to quickly instruct a House Boy to assume the numbered position and wait silently for further instructions. A command to Seven must be obeyed at home or away, regardless of who may be present and could observe.
Protocol for the Seven Point Position requires the House Boy to immediately drop to his knees and bend over forward, placing his hands on the floor or other ground level surface, then lowering his midsection until his penis or scrotum also makes contact with the floor or ground to complete the position. A House Boy who is properly in the Seven Point Position will have exactly seven body parts in contact with the ground or floor — two hands, two feet, both knees, and his genitals. The hands and knees should be placed at shoulder width or wider to allow access for any Body Part Inspection which may follow. This position differs from the Six Point Position (See below, Rule #218-F) which has similar protocol except it does not specify genital contact with the floor or ground level surface.
In the example photo, a House Boy who has been doing light outdoor chores is given the single-word command to Seven, and is also instructed to Look at Master (Rule #223). The compliant House Boy drops onto both knees and bends over forward, placing his hands onto the lawn and lowering his midsection until the lowest part of his genitals makes contact with the grassy surface. The size, position and movement of the House Boy’s penis and scrotum (intentional or unintentional) is not relevant to this command, and these factors are not an excuse for delay or non-compliance with the instruction.
In the unlikely event a command to Seven is given to a House Boy who is clothed and away from home, he is required to use good judgement to comply with the genital contact portion of the protocol. It is not necessary to completely undress, but the lowering of a zipper or waistline or other unbuttoning or unfastening may be necessary. As always, under the Paramount Rule a House Boy is never required to obey any protocol or instruction which would violate any law or regulation (or dress code, public or private), so in these circumstances a clothed House Boy could choose to respond by obeying the non-genital Six Point Position without risking discipline for disobedience.
A House Boy who is placed into the Seven Point Position to receive a Disciplinary Spanking while naked will be notified of the level of violation and number of swats to be administered before punishment begins.
