A woman has a finite amount of reproductive units, the egg. I'm not sure on the exact numerical approximation, but it's probably somewhere around 500 eggs per lifetime. Because of this, a woman's reproductive unit has value. Less value is placed on each unit with each successive sexual partner, to the point where the reproductive unit is considered "wasted". On the contrary, a man has an infinite number of reproductive units, and therefore no value is placed on an individual unit. By having multiple sexual partners a man has not wasted or devalued anything.

Also a man who spreads his seed to multiple eggs has a better chance of impregnating multiple broads and thus a better chance of ensuring his line. This probably used to be way more important as a younger species. We're genetically engineered to seek and destroy the nappy dugout.
