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

|Titel=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.

=== Versuche, die Veröffentlichung eines Forschungspapiers zu verhindern ===
In 2011, Morten Frisch, an MD, PhD and Doctor of Medicine, a professor of sexual health epidemiology at Statens Serum Institut in Copenhagen and at Aalborg University 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 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 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

|Titel=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.

{{Zitat
|Titel=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.

{{Zitat
|Titel=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'.

|Titel=Brian Morris Watching Masai Boys During Circumcision Ritual in Kenya, 1989
|Text=I have some wonderful photographs of a group of Masai boys in their early teens that I met in Kenya in 1989 dressed in their dark circumcision robes,
with white feathers as headwear, and white painted facial decoration that stood out against their very black skin. Each wore a pendant that was the
razor blade used for their own circumcision. The ceremony that they had gone through is a special part of their tribal culture and was very important
to these boys, who were proud to show that they were now ‘men’. In other cultures it is associated with preparation for marriage and as a sign of entry
into manhood.

== Early life ==

|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.

=== Versuche, die Veröffentlichung eines Forschungspapiers zu verhindern ===
In 2011, Morten Frisch, an MD, PhD and Doctor of Medicine, a professor of sexual health epidemiology at Statens Serum Institut in Copenhagen and at Aalborg University 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 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 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

|Titel=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.

|Titel=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.

|Titel=Brian Morris Watching Masai Boys During Circumcision Ritual in Kenya, 1989
|Text=I have some wonderful photographs of a group of Masai boys in their early teens that I met in Kenya in 1989 dressed in their dark circumcision robes,
with white feathers as headwear, and white painted facial decoration that stood out against their very black skin. Each wore a pendant that was the
razor blade used for their own circumcision. The ceremony that they had gone through is a special part of their tribal culture and was very important
to these boys, who were proud to show that they were now ‘men’. In other cultures it is associated with preparation for marriage and as a sign of entry

== CircLeaks incident ==
On March 7th 2011, a new user account by the name of [[User:Brianm|Brianm]] signed up for Circleaks,<ref>Circleaks user creation log, 00:08 March 7th 2011 http://circleaks.org/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=newusers&user=Brianm&page=&year=&month=-1</ref> attempted to blank this page,<ref>Circleaks history log for Brian J. Morris, 00:15 March 7th 2011 http://circleaks.org/index.php?title=Brian_J._Morris&curid=28&diff=3112&oldid=2363</ref> then successfully blanked the page entirely.<ref>Circleaks history log for Brian J. Morris, 00:19 March 7th 2011 http://circleaks.org/index.php?title=Brian_J._Morris&curid=28&diff=3113&oldid=3112</ref> A few minutes later [[User:Brianm|Brianm]] added Brian Morris' website (circinfo.net) to the page,<ref>Circleaks history log for Brian J. Morris, 00:24 March 7th 2011 http://circleaks.org/index.php?title=Brian_J._Morris&curid=28&diff=3114&oldid=3113</ref> then added and removed edit=brianm.<ref>Circleaks history log for Brian J.

Morris, 00:29 March 7th 2011 http://circleaks.org/index.php?title=Brian_J._Morris&curid=28&diff=3117&oldid=3116</ref> At this point an Administrator reverted the removal,<ref>Circleaks history log for Brian J.

Morris, 00:31 March 7th 2011 http://circleaks.org/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=protect&user=&page=Brian+J.+Morris&year=&month=-1</ref> A message was then posted on [[User talk:Brianm|Brianm's talkpage]], notifying the user that their removals have been reverted, that if a statement is shown to be false it will be removed, and that registering simply to delete content that's incriminating to someone isn't compatible with Circleaks wiki policies.<ref>Circleaks history log for [[User talk:Brianm]], 19:02 March 7th 2011 http://circleaks.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Brianm</ref> A Circleaks administrator checked the IP address of [[user:brianm|brianm]] and found the user to be in Australia, New South Wales, Sydney, University of Sydney.<ref>{{REFweb
