Wodak, Morris and Cooper haven't a millimetre of foreskin between them. Its likely they are unaware of the functions of the foreskin and don't see it as having any inherent value. Wodak is a member of a community that have no experience with having foreskins. Morris is on a mission to rid the world of the male foreskin. There are at least 6 sub-Saharan African countries where circumcised men are more likely to have HIV than intact men. The claim of an inverse correlation between HIV and circumcision is false. For a number of reasons HIV African studies are irrelevant to Australia. Wodak has incorrectly said MediCare figures show the circumcision rate in Australia is 19%. They do not. There is a real possibility that circumcision increase male to female transmission of HIV. Circumcised USA has one of [if not the highest] rates of HIV in the world.
