I don't know if women and men are biologically programed to want more partners but we're biologically programed to propagate our species. Taking care of infants and young children takes a lot of time, effort and resources. From a woman's point of view, a man who is monogamous at least for the first few years of child-rearing is more desirable than a man who would rather spend his time and resources outside the home.
