Welcome to our weekly discussion on some aspect of spanking. Lately I've been reading stories that involve switching. I don't mean switching in the sense of the spankee and spanker exchanging roles. I mean using a hickory or willow switch as the instrument of punishment. I'm not sure how I feel about it, so I'd like your opinion.
Do you think a switch is an appropriate implement to use? Have you ever used a switch or felt one across your hindquarters? If so, where did you obtain the switch? Was it an experience you have repeated? If not, is it something you would like to try?
Please leave your response as a comment, or email me if you prefer. I will publish an edited summary of our conversation once everyone has had an opportunity to contribute.

I have been caned with garden variety bamboo cane, but never switched. It does always seem overly harsh to me also therefore I don't really enjoy reading about, or scenes that involve switching.

There's certainly nothing INappropriate about them. I mean, heck, they're environmental! LOL
I've been switched a few times over the years......maybe about a couple of dozen times total. Usually they were on camping trips or hikes, but a couple were 'domestic'. In fact the one and only time I experienced fisting, I also was switched......let's say.......THOROUGHLY? LOL. My butt looked worse than a washboard!
Depending on the switch, it can be like caning, or an entirely different thing. Light ones sting almost annoyingly to me.....like getting wasp stings. I prefer the heavier ones though they do hurt more as well as leave plump welts. But, it's not an experience I would crave regularly. More of a mood/situation thing.
The only time we have used a switch is when we go hiking. As we hike we each pick out an appropriate switch. If we come to a secluded spot then we will take turns whipping each other’s bare bottom. Stings like all hell and we are sore for the return hike. Other than that we do not use switches or canes.
Irene and I love switches. They’re a little hard to find, and they dry out after awhile - so when we do find them, it’s a little more special. Sometimes we’ll find them when we’re out walking with the dog, who will think it’s a stick for her to play with.
We’ve had the best luck in late spring with shoots growing from the bases of wild plum trees. They’re straight and supple without thorns or stubble that causes too much damage. These and other switches are intense, and deliver a deeply satisfying sting - like the taste of tart lemonade on a hot summer’s day. A great feeling with a sting that lasts, different from the sting of a paddle or even a whip.
In the early days, Irene sometimes would be a little enthusiastic and the switches would wrap around and whack my far hipbone - taking the fun out of the wonderful occasion for a bit.
Best,
Rosco
Switches can be great fun, though we've only done it on vacations in reasonably private settings. I find it pretty thrilling to be ordered out to cut a switch with the possibility that someone might notice...not that they would know for sure what's up.
As to the severity, it depends on the selection of the switch and the vigor of the administrator! It certainly needn't be any more severe than a light cane.
Enjoy! Graham
You'd think that a switch would have a similar sensation to a cane but it's a completely different feeling. It's much stingier and leaves thin vivid welts. I personally find it much more painful than a cane especially if wielded on my sensitive thighs. And of course if you combine a number of switches together you get a birch. I have often had to tie switches together in the knowledge that they will shortly be used on my poor old bottom. And of course if I don't do a good job and the birch falls apart I know that I'm in a lot of trouble.
As Simon notes, combining switches gives you a birch. So, I distinguish between the single switch and the birch switch. Each has its own uses and sensations.
I have experienced receiving the switch on occasion, but most of my experience is administering it. Typically, I use the birch for stimulation, rather than punishment. In one case, I used it while the girl was suffering from being gingered at the same time. I picked it because it wouldn't risk hitting the ginger too hard and possibly injuring her. I think this was a particularly stimulating combination.
For another girl, we kept the birch in a pale of water outside. If she needed it, she had to strip naked and go fetch it. For long-term preservation, it's best to keep them in salt water.
As for the single switch, I had a remote relationship where I needed a good punishment that could be delivered without my physical presence. If she misbehaved, I'd send her to get and prepare the switch. For that, she cut a thin branch from a bush that had long, straight branches.
She was instructed to cut a switch about 45-55 cm long and fairly straight. Then, to remove any minor twigs and leaves. She was required to remove the bark on the last third down to the tip. Once prepared, she had to apply it to get a specific number and redness of welts on her bottom.
In my experience, girls are pretty responsive to the switch. That is, they would rather behave properly than get punished with one, unlike a spanking, the prospect of which sometimes encourages bad behavior.
My wife would not use such, I'm thankful for that. But camping I got a spanking, and it was a flimsy looking strap, but not a strap. I don't know why my wife had it, how she got it, only once having it land on my bare bottom, I quickly promise to be a good boy, and as she said I was very loud. Camping or not, I stood, naked from the waist down, facing the tent, a couple walked by, said nothing, a older lady stopped and said very nice, very nice indeed, my wife Thanked her for her comment. A younger woman walked by and asked my wife if spankings work, my wife said very much so, she then handed that dreaded looking strap to her, this will get your naughty husband to behave or should I say your naughty little boy. The woman Thanked her and said you will hear how it works shortly. We did. Jack
P did cut one once when we were out walking in the woods and I had 3 strokes before it broke so no real experience. Woudl I like to try one properly, why not.
Love,

Sure, I think a switch is an appropriate implement and I have felt many on my backside. The usual variety are spring shoots of purple leaf plumb and rose of sharon. I do most of the pruning so I make them without being asked. I usually cut them from too thin a shoot and they tend to break easily as my wife only applies her strokes firmly. I find switches wrap quite easily and can bite deeply, so be careful.
I can’t add anything to what has been previously shared, as everything is spot on, insightful and encouraging. Such shares from brunch participants are the reason this is my favorite blog. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, I think switches are appropriate. And I have been switched more than once. I usually cut switches at work, if I need them (and tell my workmates that they are for house decoration).
The great thing about switches, is the variety of sensations available. Harshly stingy, from Salix (Willow, but not weeping), Thud from Malus (Apple), easy to take hard strokes from spring cut Cornus (Dog Wood) and the list could go on and on.

Yes, it hurt in a persistent stinging way. As I recall, we eventually stopped because it was starting to break my skin.
