Well, after thinking long and hard about this, a commune could only be successful as a commune if they were completely independent of the outside world. That could be difficult, but could work to the advantage of the writer.
Let's say, the children are mandated to be in school daily. A commune rule might be set which makes the market place open only from 10 -2 each day. Thereby allowing the buyer's to go barter their sex for bread, or whatever, without involving any under 18s.
Also, given the child abuse/neglect laws as they stand, under 18's shouldn't be exposed to their parent's sexuality anyway. Due to a fear on the part of the commune members that a child will see something that they shouldn't, other guidelines could be put into place to permit the freedom of sexuality wihtout involving kids. i.e. time frames. Weekend retreats for the kidlings whereby all the children leave for a few days.
Or, the story could take place as the retreat for a small community of adults seeking a respite from their conservative home town. Rather than the commune being a 24/7 living environment, it could be the weekend retreat where the adults go once a month or so to engage in the freedom they crave.

Ignore me if I make no sense. It happens sometimes!
In any event, teh story could be a tough one to write, but the concept is very cool
