But monogamy is counter to man's evolutionary predisposition. 🤔 It's a social construct that is in direct opposition to our evolutionary instincts. How do you square that with your apparently rigid affinity for monogamous sex?

r/K selection theory, and time preferences.

A male that abstain from sexually promiscuous behavior is less likely to cheat, and be a better provider of his household.

He is foregoing his sexual pleasure in returns for a more closer partnerships with his wife.

The studies are as prevalent but it's fair to assume that sexual promiscuity in general is bad even for men who aren't as easily emotionally attached with sex.

But yes from a moral relativist standpoint male promiscuity is acceptable but I don't think so.

I think Marriage is the most important institution that keeps society functioning without marriage society crumbles.

Yeah, but subjective notions of harms possibly attributed to promiscuity, which are dependent on the societal structure in place, are not the same thing as genetics or evolutionary instincts. You were throwing up information about genetics when justifying your beliefs about women, but now it seems you're pivoting to a socio-cultural justification when it comes to your alleged beliefs about monogamy, and why you're not having sex. You're not being intellectually consistent. It seems like you're just picking the justification that's most convenient in the moment. That tendency leads me to think that this belief you have is more about explaining away your current condition than with any intellectual, or instinctual justification.

I am not aware of any downsides for a heterosexual male having multiple sexual partners, and I haven't found studies that really show any downsides.

However, when growing up in Highschool, I encouraged all my male friends to practice abstinence, unfortunately None of them listened to me.

A lot of them have trauma, and drama, and shit from their previous partners.

For me, I don't have that, I am care free in that regard.

I just haven't found the one (yet) 🤷‍♂️ but I'm almost thirty, and I have bigger problems on my plate.

Once I fix those issues then maybe I might date but who knows.
