From what I've seen on science tv shows, monogamy is socialized all the way. From a biological perspective, genetic diversity is a good thing, so women are wired to get different "sperm doners" just as men are wired to spread their seed around. One show talked about a study done in Africa, and the researchers noticed that the women who were screwing guys other than their husbands tended to do so when they were ovulating.
There is a British study also that found that women looked for higher status men when they were ovulating. They followed University students and such like for a long period and found that even women in a long term relationship strayed when they were ovulating, many sleeping with their lecturers and such, and others prepared to travel long distances to achieve their plan. The conclusion is that women look to maximise the sperm quality while they're ovulating.
