Commands and Protocols — Six Point Position
The Six 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 Six must be obeyed at home or away, regardless of who may be present and could observe.
Protocol for the Six 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 while also keeping his feet or toes in contact with the floor. A House Boy who is properly in the Six Point Position will have exactly six body parts in contact with the floor — two hands, two feet, and both knees. His hands and knees will be placed at shoulder width or wider to allow access for any Body Part Inspection which may follow. This position differs from the Seven Point Position (Rule #218-G) which requires the House Boy to also lower his penis or scrotum until it maintains contact with the floor or carpet.
In the example photo, a House Boy is summoned to Report To Master (See below, Rule #211) and instructed to turn around before being given the single-word command to Six. He then drops his naked frame onto both knees and bends over forward, placing his hands onto the floor and revealing an unobstructed view of his back, buttocks, thighs, anus, and scrotum for potential inspection. The Crawl Command (Rule #288) commonly follows an instruction to Six, though a Spot Cleaning (See below, Rule #57) or preparation by Body Sculptors (See below, Rule #150) may also occur.
The House Boy is not required to undress for this command when it is given away from home while he is clothed. Likewise when he is naked at home, he is not permitted to cover up or otherwise attempt to avoid being seen while in the Six Point Position, regardless of who may be present and could observe. In the unlikely event that a House Boy is placed into the Six Point Position to receive a Disciplinary Spanking, he will be notified of the level of violation and number of swats before punishment begins.
