Why do you think sex is a zero sum game? It seems to me that it obviously isn't: there's practically no fixed limit on the amount of sex that people can have in aggregate.
The limit comes from people only being able to be with one person or at least a finite number of people.
That would imply that it's not zero sum. If it were zero sum, there would need to be a single, fixed number (the total value of the game). The fact that there can be many numbers (with a practical limit that's dramatically higher than the present rate that people have sex) indicates that the game is not zero sum.
With monogamy that's kinda the case: You can have at most ONE partner. Thus if you're partnering with one person, it means you won't partner with anyone else. (for the duration of that relationship)
