Why women's sexuality is seen as threat by society/cultures/religion.

Is there any mating and evolutionary reason behind it in humans?

Humans can typically only hold one child at a time and it takes nine months to do so, the cost is quite high for indiscriminate sex practices. Men's role in this dynamic is that of the expendable partner, we're not the resource sink when it comes to who is more important. That's why we historically protected our women and coddled them. A population with many females is good but a population with few females is bad. And this is why there are more women than men but the numbers are still close, we needed more women than men but we also need enough men to defend those women from other men who would plunder them. It's also why monogamy has become the dominant partnering idea. Men worked out that to keep them from constantly warring with each other it would only be allowed that they should take one wife. It was agreed upon then that every man could have any woman he could win over, but only one woman. And this satisfied the most men.

There's this idea that women are the only ones being controlled but that's not the case. They are controlled more is all
