== Early life == Brian Morris was born in South Australia in 1950. In accordance with the then prevailing standard practice, he received a medically unnecessary, non-therapeutic [[circumcision]].<ref>This information was formerly posted on his website, but has been removed.</ref> It was not the practice to use anaesthesia or analgesic at that time because doctors then falsely believed that infants could not feel [[pain]].<ref>{{REFjournal |last=Cope |init=DK |title=. |journal=The American Association of Anesthesiologists Newsletter |date=1998-09-01}}</ref> We now understand that infant [[Brit Milah|circumcision]] is an [[Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)|adverse childhood experience]] and causes physical and psychic [[trauma]].

Brian Morris may be considered to be a victim of [[circumcision]].

| Title=Good Weekend, 31 January 2004, Your Say | Text=Dr Karl Kruszelnicki ignores the massive scientific support for the benefits of circumcision (Weekender, January 10) and instead presents only extremist anti-circ nonsense from the likes of Paul Fleiss. Dr K fails to even mention that make circumcision prevents a raft of diseases in both sexes, as well as sexual problems in men. Bacteria abound under the foreskin,* accounting for 11-fold higher urinary tract infections. The foreskin is, moreover, an "[[HIV ]] magnet". Its removal may reduce the risk of [[AIDS]], [[penile cancer ]] and [[cervical cancer]].

In addition to writing a letter to the newspaper, and trying to get the {{UNI|University of Sydney |USYD}} to sack Dr Kruszelnicki from his position, Morris also filed a formal complaint of bias against the Sydney Morning Herald with the Australian Press Council.<ref>{{REFweb | quote=Morris also filed a formal complaint of bias against the Sydney Morning Herald with the Australian Press Council. | last= | first= | publisher= | workwebsite=Circumcision Information Australia | date= | title=Dr Karl on the origins of circumcision | url=http://www.circinfo.org/Dr_Karl.html | accessdate=2012-12-23

In 2011, [[Morten Frisch]], an {{MD}}, {{PhD and Doctor of Medicine}}, a professor of sexual health epidemiology at [https://www.ssi.dk/ Statens Serum Institut ] in Copenhagen and at {{UNI|Aalborg University |AAU}} in [[Denmark]], published a study, which showed an excess of orgasm difficulties in [[circumcised ]] men, as well as significantly increased frequencies of orgasm difficulties, pain during intercource intercourse and a sense of incomplete sexual needs fulfillment in women with [[circumcised ]] spouses.<ref>Frisch M, Lindholm M, Grønbæk M. Male circumcision and sexual function in men and women: a survey-based, cross-sectional study in Denmark. Int J Epidemiol {{FrischM LindholmM GroenbaekM 2011 Oct;40(5):1367-81 [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21672947]}}</ref>

This study was preceded by three other publications based on the same dataset, dealing with sexual dysfunctions in Danish men and women in relation to socioeconomic factors, health factors and lifestyle factors, respectively, which were swimmingly published without serious criticisms from peer reviewers in the two most prestigious US journals of sexual health, the ''Journal of Sexual Medicine '' and ''Archives of Sexual Behavior''. After adding the variable of male [[circumcision ]] status to the analysis, however, the study was met with extremely critical reviews of everything about the entire dataset.<ref>{{REFweb | last= | first= | date=2012-12-06 | title=Circumcision and Sexual Function Difficulties | url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfGkZZ-KzpU#t=01m34s | publisher=YouTube | accessdate=2012-12-24

In particular, Brian Morris, along with [[Jake H. Waskett|Jake Waskett]] and [[Ronald H. Gray|Ronald Gray]] made extensive, obstructive peer-review comments in a review which included serious insinuations of racism and amateurism.<ref>Morris BJ, Waskett JH, Gray RH.

| Title=To IJE Editors | Text=I would like to thank the IJE editors for withstanding the pressure from one particularly discourteous and bullying reviewer who went to extremes to prevent our study from being published. After the paper's online publication, I have received emails from colleagues around the world who felt our contribution was useful and potentially important. One colleague informed me that the angry reviewer was the first author of the above letter to the editor. In an email, Morris had called people on his mailing list to arms against our study, openly admitting that he was the reviewer and that he had tried to get the paper rejected. To inspire his followers, Morris had attached his two exceedingly long and aggressive reviews of our paper (12858 words and 5291 words, respectively), calling for critical letters in abundance to the IJE editors. Breaking unwritten confidentiality and courtesy rules of the peer-review process, Morris distributed his slandering criticism of our study to people working for the same cause. | Author=Morten Frisch| Source=| lang=| before=| after=| Transcription=| Translation= | ref=<ref>[http://ije.oxfordjournals.org/contentname="Frisch reply 2012"/41/1/312.full ''Author's Response to: Does sexual function survey in Denmark offer any support for male circumcision having an adverse effect?'']</ref>

| Title=Allegations of a Homosexual Agenda Behind Intactivism | Text=A subgroup of the gay community practice “docking”, a sexual practice that requires the foreskin. Naturally such men would want to ensure that an adequate supply of boys with foreskins are coming up through the ranks, where a proportion will have an orientation towards males. Why don’t those who wish to outlaw male circumcision be honest enough to admit the REAL reason for their campaign? And by the way, “docking” is regarded on gay health websites as unsafe sex, as it exposes the vulnerable mucosal inner lining of the foreskin to infection by [[HIV]], to name just some of the medical hazards posed by the foreskin . | Author=Brian J.

| Title = Whose Responsibility? | Text=The greatest benefits accrue the earlier in life the procedure is performed. If left till later ages the individual has already been exposed to the risk of urinary tract infections, the physical problems and carries a residual risk of penile cancer. Moreover, it would take a very street-wise, outgoing, adolescent male to make this decision and undertake the process of ensuring that it was done. [...] many will suffer in silence rather than seek medical advice or treatment. Really though parental responsibility must over-ride arguments based on 'the rights of the child'. | Author=[[Brian J.

His co-authors are usually members of his clique. He openly publishes a list of his authors which are also members of the alleged medical organisation [[Circumcision Academy of Australia]], with most of them highly biased in favor of circumcision for several reasons. It has been observed in 2024 that Morris now publishes only in open access free journals. It appears that the more respected journal no longer accept his papers. === [[Bias]] revealed ===Professor [[Gregory J. Boyle]] has reviewed an article by Morris & [[John N.
