Now as for the shamed into controlling ones sexuality, the trick of course is to marry well (or never marry hehe).
It doesn't bother my wife if I look, hell she will look with me, and in the right circumstances it doesn't matter if I touch either.
Our jealousies and social structure are part of our evolution the same as our eye color. They serve a purpose in reproduction which may not always be good for the species but is good for the individual. If you get jealous when your mate has sex with another it increases your chance that your children will be your own and your genes will move on. If everyone else didn't care and only you did, in the long run your children may well outbreed the others (you are having sex with their women but only you have sex with yours, therefore you may have more children in each generation, as will your children if they have the gene).
Women can have the same jealousies (to a lesser extent though) as the more children you have with other women, the less there is for her children, and the less chance they will survive (don't forget we are talking old school here
.
Humans have not 'evolved' for a modern society, yet, we are still basically hunter gatherers at the basic levels.
Perhaps in some distant future, in some time where birth control was 100% effective and STD's are a thing of the past the benefits of 'social sex' will outweigh the old genetic jealousies and everything will be different. Some people are already there (swingers anyone) but as a whole, we are not there yet.
