In 2011, [[Morten Frisch]], {{MD}}, {{PhD}}, 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 intercourse and a sense of incomplete sexual needs fulfillment in women with [[circumcised ]] spouses.<ref>{{FrischM LindholmM GroenbaekM 2011}}</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=

'''Brian James Morris''', a [[circumcised]] native of [[Australia]], has devoted his life to the promotion of [[circumcision]] and [[foreskin]] loss for all males everywhere, however, The the Royal Australasian College of Physicians' official advice on circumcision rejects all of his claims.<ref>{{REFweb

{{PUB}}== Biased [[publications]] == {{NOTE}} Notebox|IntactiWiki does ''not '' recommend the publications indexed in this section.}}

Morris seems to never have done any direct research on [[circumcision]] or the [[foreskin]], but only selective paper research. Various of his publications have only been ''peer-reviewed'' by circumcision fetish fellows of him. In August 2016 e.g., Morris published a critique of a paper that itself had critiqued the practice of [[circumcision]]. But the sole reviewer of Morris’s article was a frequent co-author of his, [[Aaron Tobian]] of the [[Johns Hopkins]] School of Medicine. In his reference section, Morris listed five papers on which he and Tobian were co-authors.<ref>{{REFweb

Crossdisciplinary researcher [[Brian D. Earp]] revealed very graphically how totally biased authors, like Morris's and his co-authors, can place pseudoscientific papers are noted for the frequent citation in important journals without their [[bias]] being admitted or discovered before publication.<ref>{{REFweb |last=Earp |first=Brian D. |init=BD |author-link=Brian D.
