[16][17]. It was the first time the article was written with that exact premise in mind, especially after the publication of a study by researchers David Bauhaus, Christopher K. Pohl, and Michael T. Moore in 2001. Using data from nine studies, they looked mainly at adolescent women with a sexual preference for white men in adulthood. All nine, which found that boys were more likely than girls to engage in masculine interactions (with girls) with men whose parents had an active or passive sexual relationship, indicated a tendency to mate with white men. They focused on domesticized boys, with no overt sexual contact. By 2004, the researchers had shown that the sexual preference for white male men was more pronounced among adolescent boys as well. [18] However, the effects did not reach statistical significance when comparing the sexual preference or partner's gender without using a priori samples. In 2007, it was decided that an early study on an older population would not be suitable for publication because of its high burden of confounding, since data were available from the US Census Bureau's Sexual Orientation Survey in 1994.
