O’Brien Dennis has now dedicated his life to the cause of changing social perceptions about male rape. He is currently working on publishing his first work of fiction called “Love on the Wire”. It is a love story that entwines, deception, lust, infidelity, and the complexities of sexuality within relationships nestled in an island paradise.

O’Brien recently launched the O’Brien Dennis Foundation that will conduct research into male sexual abuse and provide both male victims and their families an outlet to cope with the abuse and its ripple effects. The goal is to break the cycle one man at a time. It is through education that O’Brien has been able to evolve, break his silence and start the healing process. Dennis has made a pledge to give part proceeds of all book sales of The Cries of Men to the O’Brien Dennis Foundation.

O’Brien’s first major publication The Cries of Men: Voices of Jamaican Men who have been Raped and Sexually Abused, is, in short, a victory. In this vivid and often blunt biography, Dennis recounts the horrid tales of his abuse in language that is both raw and direct, forcing us, "his readers", to glimpse, even if uncomfortable, into his horror. Dennis recently completed an MPA program at Metropolitan College of New York , where he worked on a dissertation surrounding how to help male victims of sexual assault break their silence. O’Brien Dennis welcomes his readers to join in his cause to start an intellectual discourse on male sexual abuse and its ripple effects. Sexual abuse is about power and control and it not only affects the victims, it impacts all our lives.
