Maybe what some of us might want is to have our very own Bones, all to ourselves, all loyal and horny yet behave like Jim when something takes our fancy? Who knows. I'm sure all/none of the above apply. ;D

Oh, absolutely. That's why in most Kirk/McCoy stories, it's McCoy who tops, and why a lot of fic end with a proposal or marriage.

Maybe we women are missing a trick here? Or maybe it just comes with some kind of bilogical imperative.

See, I don't think that women are naturally and biologically more faithful than men. It's just that men having an affair (because they just can't help themselves) and being all for eye candy is still socially more acceptable than women doing the same thing. We've been conditioned to wait for the right man, to control our sex drive, to not sleep around before finding Mr. Right, to be faithful and understanding etc. for centuries in one way or another. It's still on today, e.g. when women objectify actors, they're shallow, when men do the same with women, it's not commented on at all. I'm generalising like whoa here, of course, but it's still a trend.
