Polygamy vs. Communal Living

Well, there's definitely an aspect of that: being worried about being shunned by their non-polygamous peers, but there's more in the script about the legality of the whole thing.

When I was at uni, I shared a house with eight other people of assorted genders. While I can't say that there were no hook-ups (it was none of my business), but I never had sex with anyone in the house. But it was 'communal' in the truest sense of the word - we all shared resources and responsibilities to keep the house running.

Of course, that's one way of living communally, but surely not the only legal way.
