It strikes me as good. But developing such a group strikes me as
difficult. The main problems center around getting a group of
like minded people together and outside societal support. I suspect
that people who have a religious or near religious conviction of the
rightness of such an arrangement will be more sucessful. From my
experience at communing the people dynamics are tremendous. If you
then add sex, the situation becomes even more complex. Again I think
this due to the cultural values we who have been brought up in the
U.S. carry around with us.

One the other hand if there were more frontierpersons to chart this
territory in the west maybe the general culture would change.
