Bisexual dominance is a default state of man and it takes societal pressures to neuter that, because invariably there will be civil unrest when you find your sons and heirs are being preyed upon by other men (or you prey upon other men's heirs and sons). You see this all over the place and it's only with strict socializing pressure that guys get warded away from it.

Honestly the mistake we make is thinking prohibition of something = it is widely not practiced. Not all prohibitions exist to stop a rampant practice, but you have to prohibit something BECAUSE it happens enough to be an issue. And in some cases it is widespread enough the prohibition is to try and reduce it if not eliminate it. If we go "Muslims prohibited homosexuality so it was never practiced in private" then future historians would go
>Americans prohibited alcohol so they rarely drank it & They banned weed so they rarely smoked it.
Yes the risk is going "They prohibited bestiality but that secretly means they fucked lots of animals" - at the same time we can recognize bad behavior that is widely practiced, same as prohibitions on promiscuity have done fuck all to stop it.
