This is not an extensive list, but what was easily found by two people easily and in a very short time. Others will be added as they come in.

The person who brought the note dated the article at 2006. The site where it lives doesn't have the year. I've seen it quoted in full in 2007, but when I asked the author on August 26, 2013, here was the exchange:SandraDoddABQ: What year? Original publication date? http://www.nbcnews.com/id/5263250/ns/health-sexual_health/t/not-just-good-good-you/#.UgpHT5G9KSM … Thanks.So if anyone can confirm that, or date it in 2006 or 2007, that would be useful. NOTE RECEIVED 8/27/13: Re: the Brian Alexander article on Sex ("Not just good but good for you") if you right click on the page and View Source it has metadata showing this article was published in 2004: |
Pages 41-43
The paragraph below was written by Robin Elise Weiss, LCCE, and appears on an About.com article called Sex During Pregnancy What You Need to Know
There are many reasons why sex during pregnancy can be more enjoyable, even if your are doing it less. There is an increase in vaginal lubrication, engorgement of the genital area helps some people become orgasmic for the first time or multi-orgasmic, the lack of birth control, or if you have been trying for awhile, a return to sex as pleasure as opposed to procreational, and other reasons.The same paragraph, word for word with small bits edited out, appears on page 43 of Sexy Birth.
Page 41, paragraph starts "There are many reasons why sex during pregnancy can be even more enjoyable..." and running through page 43. It's lifted, word for word - with some parts edited out - from this site: Sex During Pregnancy What You Need to Know (same site as above)

Lifted from Jennifer Shelton
130 "The bottom line is that victims victimize"
That line, word for word, from the following webpage:
http://jenniferlshelton.com/2011/06/14/are-you-in-denial-the-cultural-victimization-of-women/Another line stolen from the same webpage:
Pg 128 "the media continues to perpetuate women as victims"
and pg 129 "a natural part of victim psychology is to victimize others"So probably she's used most of that webpage the same way she used the others.
