The main reason why women were more chaste in the past is because for the longest time, women were married off as soon as they were considered “developed”
Those of you with western backgrounds may not recognise this, but I know that many ethnics will vouch for me when I say that their grandparents were married at a very young age and if they still live, when you ask them about their grandparents they will say that they married at a young age too.
It makes sense, the earlier you get married, the less time someone has to experiment sexually and get into romantic relationships with others.
Regarding monogamy, at the times where religious teachings were the law, they had prostitution ubiquitously. They had their mistresses and concubines, and their harems and sexual slaves. Pre-modern era was a million times more sexually liberated for hetero couples than it is now period.
