Professor Ramírez-Johnson,

I did a overview paper on porneia as part of my introduction to 
scripture several years ago.  There is a chart in the paper that reviews 
the three basic areas of glosses found in the major lexicons.  I also 
grouped the 50 LXX and 25 NT occurances by covered usage by these threee 
categories.

* General sexual misconduct
* Sexual misconduct related to marriage
* Religious metaphor for unfaithfulness

If anyone is interested contact me off-list and I'll e-mail you a copy 
of the data.  This was an excercise primarily done to help get us 
familiar with using the lexicon and concordance and reading for context. 
   So this really is just the main data points.
