I was never whipped with a switch growing up, altho I knew full well they were used for CP on other kids. A 'bundle of switches' in your stocking was threatened rather than lumps of coal for bad children.
Nope - not until RG introduced me to the nasty thing. It was the very first thing he ever spanked me with!
I think he's used it two other times on me. And while it didn't have the same impression as the first time, it definitely is not my choice of implements.
Perhaps I will post the story of my first switching.
