I think you may have missed his argument. In biological survival terms women could pass their genes maximally with one sexual encounter per 10 month period. There is no value in the partner being different, and to the extent that man is social ( this varies widely, from culture to culture ) a SINGLE partner may be better for the ties that long term relationships can provide. She has a limit of about 25 children that she might possibly bear. Men, however are under no such progeny limitation, and in cases of extensive arab harems it is easy to see one man sire hundreds and hundreds of children. Thus a simple biological imperative may develop in the sexes in differing amounts according to the possibility of its fruition. " Cogito ergo Spud.
