sexual needs can be fulfilled through many means, a partner is not required for all of them, in extreme cases the scholars have allowed masturbation and so on, thus the example sister cat eyes gave is resolved to an extent. otherwise a divorce is one valid solution. see life is coldly indifferent to human needs, only the practical solution prevails in the end however it might hurt/shock.
we have ideals, then we have reality, there's not so much overlap as to not require giving up ideals at times of necessity. for example even killing another is allowed if done for self-defense.
My main point though is, a healthy relationship between a man and a woman is the best medicine for all such needs, for those who require more, it shouldn't be too hard to hold themselves back, self-control is the main reason we're not like the rest of the animal kingdom. a sexual encounter lasts for no more than a little while, the consequences might be life changing.
then we should be careful of indulging and giving in to our primal desires to the point where society/religion are not important.

in the margin:
women having multiple partners under law is problematic for society, there's an alternative, it's classed as adultery in Islam, although in the future that might not be so clearly the case. in today's society adultery is more acceptable, strangely even some 'scholars' allow a form of it, look at the shiite mut'a, or it's recently spreading-watered down-sunni version called misyar. both can be seen as 'prostitution', although there's only two people involved.
to note, research has shown that it's not that women are satisfied with just one man, while men are lustful and require man women; rather women prefer the best males, and those are in short supply, men simply seek to propagate their genes, hence they're not so selective.
thus, with more technological/medical advancements,cultural revolutions and more aggressive forms of feminism/women's rights; many women will call for the 'privilege' of multiple partners/promiscuity.
this is as anyone can see a dangerous trend, it should be stopped, first through more awareness of it I might add.
