Yeah, many in the US think circ is a needed surgery, but all surgeries done in the US have standards your legally allowed to perform them by. That guy was was not even cutting, he was just scrapping the foreskin off the side of that tool.
If a doctor did something like that with another surgery, (say scrapping open holes during heart surgery) they would be fired on the spot. I just cant imagine this was done in the US. If it was, my god even the pro-circers should be out there protesting to at least improve the standards of this surgery!

I can assure you, it is and was done in the US, and was one of the main methods used before the plastibell became popular (Plastibell is/was touted as a "no cut" circ and much more humane
...
And scraping along the clamp is pretty common as well, with any flat clamping methods: freehand, mogen, etc.
Also, the freehand method was the one most used BEFORE they started asking parental permission. To this day, DH and I don't know if his mother even consented.
Freehand circs are responsible for the "high and tight" cut, so favored by circum-fetishists because it removes more skin than other techniques. Which also results in more complications for the grown man-- often, so much skin is removed that there is absolutely no "excess" skin even flacid.
We aren't sure if Dh had a frenulectomy at the same time, or if over the years the growth of the penis stretched and snapped the frenulum.
Here is that women's magazine article i was talking about:

Anyway, you'll all be happy to know that even though DH (and yep, I have his permission to talk about it here) had 50-90% of the skin on his penis removed withthis method... manual tugging has helped him regain some of that skin. Instead of having a scarline that is about half-way up the shaft, there is actually a little wrinkle of skin right behind the glans! Erection is no longer uncomfortable for him, and sex is more pleasurable for both of us.
I guess what I'm saying is-- even with that much skin removed, it is still very possible to regain some normal functioning.
ETA: CircInfo says in the 1980's, the popularity of methods went: 1)Freehand 2)Gomco 3) Plastibell 4)Mogen
So, basically, any victim of RIC born before say... 1985 most likely had a freehand circ.

yes they do show the whole procedure and you can tell the real audio is not there and the kid might be older and he is crying. I responded to a few and to that one last post. Oh gosh, I am turning into a big time intactivist here by just looking at all these horrible videos, this is just barbaric!
