Chapter 15.   Youth Are Not Pampered

After lunch our team was issued minimal clothing.  We were told that it was deemed not appropriate to keep us nude since we would be outside of Masterson facilities and in the presence of young teens not accustomed to seeing naked slaves.  However our masters wanted to be sure that these youth understood that some of their visitors were, in fact, slaves.  Accordingly we had to wear our slave collars along with tee shirts and women were issued only thong bottoms, men were issued Speedos.  The result was that all our buttocks were bared so the kids could see that we were branded.  A short bus ride took us to the Fastlane Apprentice Support Center.

As we entered the main assembly area of that facility, the coordinator, Mrs. Withers, was covering the last part of her explanation to the boys and girls of how this day’s recruitment process would work.  There were about 200 students who had presented themselves for evaluation as possible apprentices.

“Students, you are all here by invitation from one or more of the masters or mistresses.  They will be here today evaluating you to determine which of you will receive final offers.  I will introduce them in just a short while.  I will remind you all that it is a great privilege to be selected for the program and that not all of you will be so chosen.  For those who are not selected today there might be another opportunity to be selected for another program next month.  Failing that, those not selected will have to present themselves at a by-the-day hire facility for hiring for unskilled jobs.  For those who are selected, you will enjoy a very personal relationship with the man or woman who agrees to be your master or mistress during your time of indentured service and education.  There are nine Apprentice Masters and three Apprentice Mistresses among our visitors today.  Each will choose, at most, three young apprentices.  That means only about one in six of you will receive an offer.”

“I will also draw your attention now to the fact that we have five visitors from Masterson Automotive who will be observing our processes today.  Many of you will be trained by your master or mistress in the Masterson factory.  These visitors are led by Masterson representative Sally Rigers who has brought four professional slaves with her.  You have all studied slavery in your classes, including learning about professionals who are enslaved, and know what that means.  You can identify these people by their slave collars, bared limbs, thong or Speedo bottoms, and by the fact that their buttocks are branded.  While you will, if selected, be entering a period of indentured service yourselves, you should appreciate that your service will be short term and for educational purposes, leading to a brighter future.  Their slavery, on the other hand, is to force them to provide their professional services to the person or firm that owns them for no compensation beyond board and room.  Their terms of slavery may be long term, sometimes for life, and is essentially to punish them for crimes or for irresponsibly defrauding others of money.”

“First I know many of you will have heard rumors about what might be termed the ‘sexual aspects of the program’.  Please be assured that nothing overtly sexual will take place between any of you and your respective master or mistress during the next three years.  Only when you are of age, and then only with your consent, will there be any consummation of the often intense feelings you will develop with your trainer during the program.   The program is a residential one and you will be separated from your parents, except for holidays, for the duration of your apprenticeships.   During this time you will be under the complete care and guidance of your Apprentice Master or Mistress.  It will be up to that person to see to your emotional, physical and sexual health and growth.  Accordingly they will want to verify, before offering you a contract, that your growth has not been stunted in any of these areas up to now.  And once you start your indentured service as an apprentice, you should not expect to have any secrets of mind or body from those who supervise your continued training and growth.”

With that she went on to introduce the dozen masters and mistresses to the students.  The familiar face of Frank Matters, lighting designer from the ballet made me feel more at home with this group.

“These good people have kindly consented to come and interview and examine some of you today for possible contracts.  Now how many of you have brought in permission slips from your parents to be interviewed as possible apprentices?”  Mrs. Withers continued.

Of the 200 plus children in the room, all but three hands went up.  Evidently parents who wanted their kids to have additional education they could not pay for, and that the taxpayers would not provide, were very receptive to this program.  By signing their kids up as apprentices the teens would lose their freedom for the apprenticeship years, but in return would be trained in a marketable skill and would also continue their general education.

“At this time the three of you children who do not have parental permission must leave and return to your schools. “

I saw three rather dejected looking 13 year olds pick up their things and make their exit.  Evidently these kids wanted to be included, but their parents had either balked or simply neglected to sign the forms.

“Now as I explained last week, the interview process may prove somewhat embarrassing.  We will try to offer you as much privacy as possible by using private interview rooms.  You will first be called, one at a time, to one of 12 medical examination rooms where you will be examined by a doctor or nurse and questioned about your general maturity and sexual development.  Therefore they will require each of you to undress completely in the privacy of that room and be naked during your interview.  The doctor or nurse may find it necessary to touch some of you – just as a doctor might during a medical exam.  The master or mistress who has invited you here today may also be present and may take part in the questioning.  One or more of our 5 observers may also be present.”
 
“But Mrs. Withers … what about us girls?” a rather long limbed twelve year old gymnast asked.  “I mean, couldn’t the physical part be done just in front of a female interviewer?”

“I am afraid not Kathy.  This is how our visitors wish to proceed, and your parents were all informed of this before they signed your permission slips.  So lets not have any nonsense about it now.  The same goes for you boys.  You will all undress in front of all our visitors today, including the two ladies.  So I don’t want to hear any protests about that either.”

I noticed that Kathy’s face was now turning red, no doubt with embarrassment at what she now knew she would have to undergo in the next few hours.

“Once each of you has completed your initial exam and interview we will proceed to the second round, which will focus on your physical development.  This will take place in the facility’s gym where a number of different apparatuses have been setup to test your physical strength and physical skills.  These tests will also be administered while you are nude, but we will take all the boys as a group while girls wait in their locker room, and vice versa.  You will each demonstrate certain physical skills – such as jumping rope, climbing rope, pushups, chin-ups gymnastic routines and the like.  Since gymnastic training has been mandatory in all the area middle schools you should all have some basic competence in these areas.”

“With completion of round two” Mrs. Withers continued, “we will proceed to the intensive individual interviews where the Apprentice Masters will interview each of you individually in the counseling offices.  Here you may put your clothes back on and there will be no medical personnel.  The masters and mistresses will get to know you more intimately in terms of your hopes, your fears and so forth.  You will hold back nothing if you want a shot at the benefits of this program.”

“I think we will go boy girl, boy girl, until the 200 of you have all been evaluated.  I need all of you kids to take off your shoes and any jackets or sweaters so you can strip quickly when you are called in for your physicals.”  There was a flurry of activity as a roomful of kids complied.  

“Now let’s start with you Bobby.  Beth Norris has read your application for a factory apprenticeship, checked your references and agreed to consider you today! 

I saw a very thin thirteen-year old boy smile excitedly at this news.

“You will go now with Ms. Norris and two other observers to medical exam room one, for your physical.”  Mrs. Withers stated, and then directed 11 other students to one of the 11 other medical exam rooms.

Sally indicated to me that she and I were also to go with Beth and the boy while my fellow slaves were to go to the other exam rooms and work with other masters.  Now I saw this thin boy looking rather scared at the immediate prospect he faced.  I saw him get up with obvious hesitation and slowly walk over to where we were standing.  I admit that I was rather excited by what I knew lay ahead.

As we entered exam room one, a rather attractive young blonde nurse greeted us.  She closed the exam room door to assure privacy and then told the boy to undress.  He did so slowly and she had to tell him to speed it up.  He then stood before us in just his briefs.

“Continue!”  she said.

In a very hesitating manner the boy inched his briefs down his legs with one hand and stepped out of them, all the while holding his other hand in front of his genitals.  We could see that he had good muscular development for a boy his age.

“Now let’s have none of that!” the nurse said quickly.  “Hands at your side lad, and stand up straight facing us!” 

The boy reluctantly complied.  I must admit I was fascinated by what I saw, even though I felt sorry for the kid.  I had not had many opportunities in my life to observe naked 13-year-old boys.  This one was rather attractive and had washboard abs.  His genitals appeared as yet undeveloped, with testes not fully descended.

The nurse asked the boy to flex his biceps while she gripped one of the lad’s arms.  She seemed satisfied with the kid’s muscular development.  Then she proceeded to ask the boy rather intimate questions. 

“Do you masturbate Bobby?  Tell the truth, I will know if you are lying.”

“Yes m-maam” the boy said in a dying voice.

“Speak up lad.  I can’t hear you!”

“Yes maam, I m-masturbate, maam.”  

The boy hung his head and stared at the floor.  I was beginning to feel acutely embarrassed that I was being made to witness the boy’s shame.

“How often?” The nurse would not let up.

“Once a day, maam.  Sometimes twice a day.”

“My you are a horny little thing aren’t you?   Now I will have no hanging of your head.  You must keep your head up and maintain eye contact with us.  Have you done it yet today?”

“No maam.”

The nurse turned to Beth Norris and asked what would be her pleasure in this matter. 

“By all means – I think we all want to know if his stuff works, after all!” Beth responded excitedly.”

The nurse then ordered the boy to masturbate while we observed him.  The lad could not bring himself to do this in front of four women.

“It seems the boy is going to need help”, the nurse continued.  “Normally I would do this pursuant to my medical license.  But I have a problem that the arthritis in my fingers is acting up today.  The law allows me to deputize a non-medical person to do this under my general supervision.   Do we have a volunteer?” the nurse observed.

For some reason Beth held back from testing her own prospective apprentice and Sally turned to me with a commanding look. 

I knew from our earlier discussion and a training session what was expected of me.  I knew if I didn’t perform as expected Sally could make me do it anyway by using post-hypnotic commands.  Also I found that I had a desire to do what I was about to do, even though I knew it would further humiliate the boy, and the fact I was being compelled to do it served to take away any guilt I might otherwise have felt for my actions.

I reached out and began to finger the boy’s genitals, lifting his penis and then, with my other hand, weighing the boy’s testicles.  I could see the boy struggling to suppress his response to this, but the boy began to develop a partial erection.  I continue to massage his parts until it became a full erection.  I was impressed with the length of the boy’s erect penis on so thin a frame.  I thought how pleasant it would be to have it inside me, but I knew that could not be possible under our laws until the boy reached the age of consent, sixteen, and signed on for an extended apprenticeship.

At a nod from Sally I continued the massage until the boy began to jerk his hips and spurt after spurt of his semen was caught in a wad of tissue I held for just that purpose.

“OK lad, you have satisfied me that you are a fully functional male.” Beth Norris acknowledged.  “You may clean your penis with the tissue now, and as soon as you can become flaccid again I want you to take a seat so we can begin the interview part of this physical. “

“Couldn’t I put my clothes back on now, Miss Norris?”

“No lad.  My experience is that keeping an interview subject fully naked tends to elicit more complete and satisfying responses.  There is a feeling of ‘nowhere to hide’ that causes subjects to be more forthcoming.  Also your body language will be fully visible to me that way so that I can better detect deception.  And if I happen to touch on something that triggers sexual thoughts in you, I will be able to see even the slightest stiffening of your member!”

And so it was.  Beth asked a series of questions, some purely routine and some of a more provocative nature.  On some of these latter questions we could all see the boy’s penis stiffen slightly and the nurse made note of the question and the boy’s response on her chart.  On some questions the boy seemed defensive.  We could sense even the slightest degree of defensiveness or evasiveness just by watching the interplay of all the boy’s muscles in response to the questions.  Nothing was concealed from us or from the ever-watching video cameras and recorders.

One of the most provocative questions asked of the boy was whether he thought it likely that he would want to extend his apprenticeship after reaching age of consent and enter into a fully sexual relationship with Beth.  The boy answered emphatically yes and fully erected again for us as he said this.  Beth seemed satisfied that taking this boy on would likely lead to rich compensations for herself in return for her investment of time and money and caring for the lad.

“You have done well on the physical exam, Bobby” Beth concluded.  “At this time you may put your briefs back on and don this robe.  The nurse will take charge of all your other clothing until the end of your interview day.  You should proceed to the gymnasium and take a seat there on the bleachers with the other boys and girls until all of them have had their individual physicals and are ready to be tested for their athletic abilities.”

At this point Sally indicated that Beth would be viewing videotapes of the physicals of several other boys.  I was instructed to go to exam room two and join two of my fellow slaves, Harold and Edgar, to witness and perhaps participate in a physical of a girl seeking an office apprenticeship.   The apprentice master to whom the girl had applied was George Barkstone.  If he agreed to take her on he would teach her the whole range of office skills from greeting visitors to handling phone calls to filing to word processing and data entry.  These would be skills that would serve her well with any employer but we were most interested in observing to see if she would work well at Masterson Automotive.

As we entered room two I saw that Harold, the handsome lawyer, and Edgar, the portly economist, were already there, as was the client, Mr. Barkstone, who was considering taking this girl on for office training.   A male nurse would nominally supervise the exam, for propriety’s sake, but in accordance with the client’s wishes.   I would be the only female present other than the thirteen-year old girl to be examined.  Just then Mrs. Withers brought the girl, Sarah, into the room and introduced her to us.

“Sarah, perhaps you recognize Mr. Barkstone from his picture on the website.  He is the one to whom you applied for your office apprenticeship.  He will be your apprentice master if he decides to accept you.  He will want to know as much as possible about you before making his decision.  Be sure to follow the instructions of the nurse.”

As soon as Mrs. Withers left and closed the door the nurse advised the girl that she must strip so that Mr. Barkstone could see what he would be getting.  The girl showed no hesitation whatever in stripping before four adult males and myself.   She was thin like the boy we had just examined and also muscular like him, but unlike him, was very self confident and not at all shy about her body.  She impressed me as somewhat of a tomboy and I was not surprised to learn of her participation in gymnastics and some sports usually reserved for boys.  Soon she was quite naked and stood at attention, facing us, with hands at her sides.  Harold looked mildly interested in what he was seeing while Edgar was tenting his shorts.  He discreetly moved his notebook in an attempt to conceal his condition.  It occurred to me that perhaps Edgar had never had the opportunity to view a naked thirteen-year old female.

“Are the children always examined by adults of the opposite sex?” I inquired of the nurse.

“That is the case roughly four days out of every five.  But one day each week we do gay recruiting – where children known to be gay are matched with masters and mistresses who are also gay.”  the nurse replied.  “We try to accommodate the gender preference of the child.”

The girl had breasts as well developed as could be expected for one her age.  She seemed to be all arms and legs.  While I had no lesbian inclinations myself, I could not help but admire the aesthetics of her sleek young body.  I could tell that my male comrades found her attractive.  Their eyes were on her well-rounded muscular buttocks, her muscular thighs and then on her crotch where she had shaved her vulva but retained a small landing strip just above it.  Only her very full outer labia were visible.

“Stand with your legs about three feet apart” the male nurse addressed the girl, “and use your fingers to open yourself so that Mr. Barkstone and I may inspect the details of your anatomy.”  The girl complied without hesitation and held the pose for several minutes while she was examined.  

“Is she a virgin?” Barkstone wanted to know.

“I believe so, but by all means satisfy yourself on that point” the nurse replied.

Barkstone then cupped her vulva and insinuated his index finger up her vagina until he found what he was searching for.  He announced that he was satisfied on this point.

“Would you like for me to masturbate, sir?”  Sarah directed her question to Barkstone.  “I mean, I know you would want to know that I am not frigid and that everything works down there before entering into a relationship.  Am I right sir?”

“Quite right Sarah.  It would hardly make sense for me to invest years of my life training a girl who would be incapable of satisfying me even after she came of age and gave her consent.  So by all means show me that “everything works down there” as you put it.”

Sarah then began working the fingers of her right hand in earnest on her genitals while caressing her breasts and buttocks with the other hand.  Soon we could detect feminine odors, her labia became engorged and her slit began to drip with secretions.  I asked if I might be excused but the nurse indicated I was to stay until collected by Sally, my supervisor.

“Congratulations, Sarah.  You have passed this part of your qualifications with flying colors!”  Barkstone announced magnanimously.  “The only other thing I need from you is your best judgment as to whether you will feel ready to extend your apprenticeship when you come of age, and begin a sexual relationship with me at that time?”

“Yes, sir!  Absolutely sir!”

“Sarah, you may put your panties back on and don this robe” the nurse advised.  “Then go to the gym and wait on the bleachers with your classmates until we can start the next phase of today’s evaluations.”

What followed was a series of 15 or more exams in each of the twelve exam rooms until all 200 students had been processed and sent on to the gymnasium.  Sally saw to it that I sat in on as many of these as possible, and that I witnessed questioning by each of the 12 potential masters and mistresses.

Soon we all made our way down the hall to the gymnasium.  I think we all sensed these kids were going to blow our socks off with their athleticism.

In the gym we found 100 boys and 100 girls sitting in the bleachers on one side, while on the other side we observers were seated along with the twelve masters and mistresses.  The teenagers were a pretty sight as they were all wearing white terrycloth robes that were cut very short and so each of them was making a fine display of his or her legs.  Mrs. Withers sent all the girls downstairs to wait their turn in the girl’s locker room, and then proceeded to address the boys.

“At this time we will be requiring all of you boys to demonstrate your physical fitness and skills in various athletic and gymnastic activities.  Such demonstrations will be carried out while you are nude so that we can more fully observe the lines of your bodies as you execute each maneuver.  I will call you up in groups of 10 at time, and you are required to completely disrobe when called up.  Your first challenge will be vaulting horses.”

Names were called, robes removed and stacked on a table, and boys gradually pushed their briefs down, not without some hesitation, and placed these also on the table.  Soon we were treated to the sight of ten naked 13-year-old boys all lined up at the start line, each ready to make a fast dash toward his respective vaulting horse.  Each would be required to run, place hands down on the horse and vault himself over, somersaulting in mid-air, then landing with precision on both feet and without taking a step forward or back on the landing.

While we were waiting for the starting whistle I had a chance to study the bodies and the differing endowments of the various boys lined up.   Some were skinny and long limbed, some were full bodied and had shorter legs, and some were very muscular.  Of the last group quite a few had rather shapely buttocks.  They varied as much in their genital development as they did in their body types.  Some had sparse pubic hair, others dense curly pubic hair and happy trails leading well up their six-pack abs.  Some had large balls in low hanging scrotums, others had testicles of more moderate size and some had nuts that were not fully descended.  A few had tiny penises while others had tools that I felt sure would fill me.

I found myself experiencing some degree of feminine arousal at so magnificent a sight.  I knew that my nipples had hardened and would be visible to the boys through my tee shirt.  I was just very glad I had the thong bottom on so the boys wouldn’t see me secreting as well.

At the sound of the starting whistle the boys ran as fast as they could to build their momentum for the vault.  I could see that the long-limbed lads had an advantage in running speed and found it easier, therefore, to bound high above the vault and complete their mid-air rotations and stick their landings.  Each boy got 2 runs at the vault and was scored on the better of his runs.  These boys then returned to the clothing table and collected their underwear and terrycloth robes that they again donned and returned to the bleachers.  Another group of ten boys would be called, disrobe and perform the exercise, receive their grades, don robes and return to the bleachers.

Next was the pommel horse exercise, also performed by groups of 10 boys at a time.  This was primarily about upper body strength and about coordination.  The most muscular lads had the advantage in this one.

The naked lads were also required to do floor tumbling exercises on mats, rings, rope climbing, and running around the gym’s track.  I found it rather comic, during the floor exercises, to see all these young penises flopping around as they went through their somersaults, handstands, etc.  Finally the tests were complete and fully scored and the boys were sent back to the main assembly area with instructions to claim their street clothes and get fully dressed.

At this time the 100 girls who had been patiently waiting in the girl’s locker room were called up to the gym and put through similar paces.  They also were called in groups of ten, completely disrobed and performed a series of exercises.  There was as much variation in their body types and genital development as there had been with the boys.  Their nude challenges included floor exercises, uneven bars, balance beam, rhythmic gymnastics and running around the track.  When their tests were done they were also sent back to the main assembly area to get dressed in their street clothes.

Mrs. Withers announced to all of the students that the one-on-one in depth interviews would take place the next day and sent the entire group of children home.  I learned a week later that offers of apprenticeship had been made to 30 of the teenagers and that the children and their parents accepted 28 of these offers.  Since Masterson Automotive did not send me back to observe the next day’s interviews, this was the conclusion of my day and of my opportunity to directly observe the apprentice recruitment process.
