Just because you have the instinct doesn't mean that it has to control you.

When it occurs to a man that nature does not regard him as important and that she feels she would not maim the universe by disposing of him, he at first wishes to throw bricks at the temple, and he hates deeply the fact that there are no bricks and no temples

On the other hand, why abstain from sex unless you are in a relationship?
We are getting concerned about more and more men afraid to get into relationship, or try sex over here in Japan. Some even declared to stay virgin for their whole life.
Scientists are saying that at current rate, men will lose their function of inseminating, and women will have to adopt ways to give birth without mens help.
Soon, everyone will be a girl

Survival strategy.
Is it better to have 5 with a 20% chance of survival or 3 with an 80%. The wining strategy gets the most genes to the next generation. But the strategies aren't hard wired in, because the environment isn't static.
Nor is it just about the next generation, but setting up for generations. Those with the longest view do the best ultimately in most situations.
Sleeping around is not uncommon, but it isn't as common as families. Given that families take more time and resources one has to assume that the payoff is greater. That and then social tit for tat, more succinctly stated as "Sure you can date my daughter, but I'm watching you." Communities that trust and look after each other do better.
A lot of this though is null and void in a society that has the government as the main bread winner for some neo-nuclear families. When the bread comes from someone who isn't the parent, then a lot of parents shirk the responsibility back to society. This is sustainable on a small scale. But how great are those kids/families/neighbourhoods that in mass.
Far better when either the biological father or a role model steps up to the plate to be daddy.
Also got to remember it just ain't genes anymore its memes too.
And we haven't yet consulted James Brown yet? For shame!
