Married men to the contrary seem to be more sexually content with a single partner.

I would agree wholeheartedly, but am perhaps biased as I am polyamorous and always have been.
Attempting monogamous relationships has caused me much frustration and heartache - I'll no longer agree to a mono relationship model, I'm very clear about that upfront when I meet somebody new.
My personal observation is that women take to open relationships with more ease than men, I suspect because women are more willing to have the emotional conversations necessary to make open relationships work. Men will tend to be readily open to having multiple female partners (romantic and/or sexual) or triad relationships etc - but men comfortable with their female partners having relationships / sex with other men are a fairly rare breed.
Poly communities refer to this as the OPP, One Penis Policy. Massively prevalent in the swinging community too.
I'm summarising and generalising massively of course, this is a vast and complex subject.

The existence of the entire sex industry would suggest otherwise :)
