Rules And Protocols Handbook for the Naked Houseboy

Objectification — Monitor Holder or Television Stand

The House Boy may be Objectified as any object at any time, and he is required to obey instructions for Objectification without hesitation or delay, regardless of circumstances. This type of order is effective instantly — unless instructed otherwise —  so he may have no opportunity to respond or even to ask questions for clarification or instructions. The House Boy’s obligation is to immediately and silently obey, period. If he does not understand an Objectification Command or he wishes additional information or clarification, protocol requires that he tilt his head slightly with a quizzical expression to plead for more data. Regardless of circumstance, it is always the House Boy’s responsibility if he fails to legitimately attempt to obey, unless doing so would be unsafe or illegal to do so pursuant to the Paramount Rule.

In the example photo, House Boy Mark is Objectified As A Monitor Stand for Master’s college aged nephew who is visiting for the weekend and staying in an unused bed in a room normally used for storage. Since there is no television or computer monitor available in this corner of the house, the House Boy is instructed to retrieve a lightweight monitor and Report  (See below, Rule #211) to the storage room. After being told to plug the monitor in, the Objectification Command is given which effectively requires the House Boy to continue standing — naked and still — so that Master’s nephew can go online and complete his coursework or gaming without distraction. If it turns out that the screen is set at the wrong angle or needs to be raised or lowered or cleaned, this is no longer the responsibility of the House Boy since he is now officially just an inanimate object. Any cleaning or movement of the monitor or stand — including its arms and legs — will have to be carefully done by a human while the Objectified House Boy remains quiet and still.

Objectification rarely lasts longer than 20 minutes per session and is time-limited by protocol to one hour maximum per calendar day, but may be extended at Master’s discretion to complete an activity in progress during a hosted event. Objectification must not conflict with health and safety regulations, the Law Of Gravity or Newton’s Law Of Motion. Visitors are required to obtain approval from Master before attempting to objectify any House Boy.

Other examples of this command include Objectification As Display Art (See below, Rule #154-A), as a tetherball pole, informational sign, whiteboard, or even a ‘Pin The Tail’ or ‘Ring Toss’ target during backyard gaming. Any objects which are tied or otherwise attached to the Objectified House Boy must be placed and removed safely, and any materials used for skin preparation, decoration, cleaning or polishing must be safe for human contact and safely applied. 

Objectification may also be ordered as part of any Educational Initiative (Rule #119). The installation or wearing of clothing or accessories during or immediately after Objectification is not a violation of the Nudity Rule (Rule #1). House Boys are subject to washing or inspection after any Objectification, regardless of who may be present and could observe. Nothing in this rule shall diminish or restrict any guest’s Basic Right To Observe And Comment (See below, Rule #191) about the House Boy’s nudity, body parts, predicament, or compliance with the the various rules and protocols.
