I think he is mostly right that the sexes evolved to optimally balance the population with opposing forces.
Think in terms of evolution:
-Imagine for a second if all men and women were driven to have sex with multiple partners all the time. There would be no family and offspring would suffer or even be neglected and ultimately the species wouldn't advance or survive.
-Now imagine that all men and women were completely monogamous and had no interest in seeking out other mates and had minimal sex drive. The diversity of the gene pool and the proliferation of the species would be at serious risk and if any major disasters came along we would easily be wiped out.

But in todays society, aren't most women more liberal and have a lot of partners and so forth? I think that society molded people into "thinking" that women don't crave different sexual partners, and that's how society conditioned women to think, so women tend to reinforce that sterotype because they don't want to be labelled "a slut". Perhaps women were always sexually agressive as men but it was repressed because it was not acceptable? And men like to use the excuse that they are programmed to "spread their seed" to account for their indiscretions/cheating
So it could be that nature intended for it to be a certain way, when humans were evolving so our species didn't die out....
But society has changed a lot, and it's not as pressing for humans to procreate as much as in the past.
Also, if a lot of women are doing something, than it can't be an exception. For example, I would say a majority of women have cheated as well, and have had one night stands, so you can't really say that it was because they got molested or because something bad happened in their childhood.
I think it's becoming the norm more than an exception!
