a thot after reading a couple of wank books (the one qouted below, laquers, foccualt history in a round about way):

the danger of masterbation in communities that legislslated other kinds of sexual radicalism was that it encoruaged work against the community when needed--the same argument could be made against singular marriage--namely, that if you are trying to feed an entire community with a small farm, or are in the middle of the utah desert, then it makes sense to communalise everything.

it is why sexual pairing off exisits but is minimalised in amish, hutterites, and old order mennonites--and why it didnt matter much in the mostly urban communities that founded around sda, cs and pentecostalism.

holes poked in this
most of the lds population was not polygamus
the oneida community fell apart with sexual bickering.
