== Public Statements ==Morris seems to never have done any direct research on [[circumcision]] or the [[File:Brian 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 PWNZ Himselfpublished a critique of a paper that itself had critiqued the practice of [[circumcision]].jpgBut 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.<pref><{{REFweb |last=Ferguson |first=Cat |init=C |url=http://retractionwatch.com/2016/11/22/journal-editor-resigns-over-firestorm-from-circumcision-article/p> |title=Journal editor resigns over firestorm from circumcision article |publisher=Retraction Watch |date=2016-11-22 |accessdate=2020-07-08}}</ref> * {{REFwebREFjournal | last=Morris | first=Brian J. | dateinit=2008BJ |author-08link=Brian J.

==Summary== Brian Morris, a native of Australia, has devoted his life to the promotion of circumcision and foreskin loss for all males everywhere, however, The Royal Australasian College of Physicians' official advice on circumcision rejects all of his claims.<ref>{{REFweb |url=https://www.racp.edu.au//docs/default-source/advocacy-library/circumcision-of-infant-males.pdf?sfvrsn=eaa32f1a_10 |title=Circumcision of Infant Males |trans-title= |language= |last=Paediatrics & Child Health Division |first= |publisher=Royal Australasian College of Physicians |website=RACP |date=2010-09-01 |accessdate=2019-09-30 |format= |quote="After reviewing the currently available evidence, the RACP believes that the frequency of diseases modifiable by circumcision, the level of protection offered by circumcision and the complication rates of circumcision do not warrant routine [non-therapeutic] infant circumcision in Australia and New Zealand."ABBR}}</ref>

==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

| 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]].

=== Attempts to block a research paper from being published ===
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.

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.

| 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>

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?
