The House Boy is required to remain naked at home at all times, except as provided in these rules and protocols. Although he is never required to obey an instruction which is unsafe, illegal or dangerous, he has No Right To Privacy (See below, Rule #12) and may be required to sleep naked and uncovered. Access to a working thermostat is provided for reasonable temperature control during sleep and rest periods, and the wearing of clean socks is optional for those with cold feet or poor circulation. Since the House Boy’s assigned bedroom has no door, he is also subject to supervision 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
When a new House Boy is collared, he will either agree to Sleeping Naked And Covered or he will choose Gradual Adjustment Sleep Protocol (‘GASP’) over a six-month grace period. A House Boy selecting GASP is still required to sleep naked and uncovered, but will be permitted use of a top sheet and blankets six days a week during his first month of service. Reliance on coverings will gradually be reduced by restricting the use of top sheet and blankets by one additional day per week in each succeeding month, as described in the schedule below. At the completion of the six-month grace period, Sleeping Naked And Uncovered is required at all times, though the wearing of clean socks remains optional. For the purpose of GASP training, Master may define and designate each ‘month’ as any length of time between 28 and 34 days at his sole discretion, to best dovetail the transition schedule with the actual calendar.
House Boys who take advantage of the six-month grace period are subject to Under Blanket Inspections by Master at any time. This task may be assigned to another House Boy or volunteer for convenience. Any House Boy who has coverings suddenly removed while sleeping or resting will not intentionally react verbally or physically in any way, and is subject to the same protocol and potential discipline as described in the Freeze Command (Rule #204). To discourage improper behavior like Unauthorized Masturbation (Rule #332), the House Boy is prohibited from intentionally keeping hands under the top sheet and blankets for longer than eight consecutive seconds, unless specific permission has been given in advance. The eight second limitation is known as Going To The Rodeo (Rule #251) because the same time limit is used by professional cowboys in competitive bull riding events.
Violation for Going To The Rodeo after a verbal warning may result in discipline ranging from a Level Zero Loss Of Privilege (See below, Rule #174) up to and including a Level One Over The Pillow Spanking (See below, Rule #49) or other Level One Discipline at Master’s discretion. Two warnings will be permitted during a House Boy’s ‘First GASP’ (the first month of his adjustment period), and no verbal warnings will be permitted for a House Boy during his ‘Last Gasp’(the final month of the gradual adjustment period).
A House Boy who is collared for temporary or seasonal service of less than six months may be assigned a reduced grace period, substituting the term ‘seven day week’ for the word ‘month’ wherever it appears in this protocol. Nothing in this rule is intended to prohibit a visitor from Silent Observation (See below, Rule #297) or any guest’s Basic Right To Observe And Comment (See below, Rule #191).
Grace Period Schedule:
Month One (‘First GASP’)
Sunday through Friday nights with top sheet and blankets; Saturday nights naked and uncovered
Month Two
Sunday through Thursday nights with top sheet and blankets; Friday and Saturday nights naked and uncovered
Month Three
Sunday through Wednesday nights with top sheet and blankets; Thursday through Saturday nights naked and
Month Four
Sunday through Tuesday nights with top sheet and blankets; Wednesday through Saturday nights naked and uncovered
Month Five
Sunday and Monday nights with top sheet and blankets; Tuesday through Saturday nights naked and uncovered
Month Six (‘Last GASP’)
Sunday night only with top sheet and blankets; Monday through Saturday night naked and uncovered
Note: The House Boy may choose to sleep naked and uncovered during the grace period at any time without penalty. The grace period is designed to allow new House Boys an easier and healthier transition to sleeping naked and uncovered. Any House Boy who fails to use a top sheet and blanket for seven consecutive days during his grace period is deemed to have relinquished his option to continue GASP training, and is required to sleep naked and uncovered on all days.
