Circumfetish
The '''Circumcision Academy of Australia''' is an alleged medical organization which "aims to promote reliable medical research information on circumcision as a public health issue and facilitate education on good clinical practice. In addition it supports parental and individual choice in obtaining medical or religious circumcision in the Australian community. It is not aligned with any medical body nor with any particular religious faith".<ref name=CAA>{{REFweb |last= |first=

In fact, they also openly advertise at the same time to be "the only Australian medical organisation devoted to male circumcision".<ref name=CAA/> All their statements and even their "meta-studies" state that they are rather "the only Australian medical organization obsessed with male circumcision". The website references the circumcision fetish site [[circinfo.net]] and quotes many papers by [[Brian J. Morris]] which (of course) reference papers of himself over and over again, too. It is obvious that his circular conclusions are driven by his obsession for [[circumcision]] and require little further attention.
The Circumcision Academy of Australia seems to have been a failure in promoting circumcision in Australia, as the incidence of non-therapeutic infant circumcision has declined rapidly to only four percent of newborn boys.
They transparently and proudly list their "board" and members, many of whom are either themselves identified as [[circumfetishist]]s or have a clear [[Financial gain|financial interest]] in [[circumcision]], particularly as physicians specialized in [[circumcision]]. Morris repeatedly recruits alleged co-authors for his pseudo-scientific elaborations from this very dubious "pool of experts".
