Even in very ancient times, despite the rules people and women have always whored around out of wedlock. Only women of the upper class were closely watched to keep their virginity safe. Lower-class peasants were unlikely to bring wealth into the family by marrying so their virginity was not worth much. They fucked with stable boys pretty freely, as long as it remained somewhat hidden. In the nineteenth century, many men had mistresses and those were often the wives of other men, you can see it even today with swingers' clubs. And never forget that before the second half of the 20th century prostitution was very common and a substantial part of the female population lived off it. Men used to go to the whorehouse on the reg. So enforced monomogamy has never meant no fucking till marriage and then only fucking the same person during your lifetime.
The big difference with today's society is that your spouse HAS to fuck with you. It's their marital duty. If you can't get it anywhere else, you know at least one person HAS to provide you with sex. Of course the wife may cheat on you behind your back with the blacksmith, but at least when you come home and ask her to get down and suck your dick she MUST do it, she cannot shout "marital rape" or divorce you.
To sum it up, a society where monogamy is enforced is not a puritan society where everyone has a single lifetime partner because this is technically impossible to keep going. It's simply a system where almost everyone is provided with a spouse that has the DUTY to fuck them.
