This reminded me of the Family of Love, or Familists, a sect of the Dutch in
early modern England, who 'taught that nothing about the body was unclean'
(and may have given rise to reports of 'naked runners'). They practised
polygamy and 'had, at least in theory, a tight hierarchical organisation'
(Davies 1964, 10-1).

Cheers,

Pat
