I held onto my wild oats, and I have them still. Is there a market value for that sort of thing?
I think the issue here---as is the issue in most discussions related to this---is striking a balance between sexual drives of a less-than-monogamous nature and the drives behind pair bonding.
If you want to bring evolutionary theory into this, the most "fit" males at this point of our evolution are those who can both make lots of babies and ensure that they reach reproductive age and ensure they are in a position secure enough to want and have their own children. Just dropping yer seeds where they may land is only half the picture, and the road to evolutionary failure is paved with dropped and neglected seeds.
