Again this isnt 'my argument', its basic animal behaviour. Are you really arguing that males in general get jealous of other males copulating w/ their females? Seriously you are arguing that point?
Ever noticed how buttoned up puritans always hurl the 'unnatural' and 'not as nature/god (take your pick) intended' spear when sex crops up?
Which 'basic animal's behavior are you referring to?
You seem to be assuming that the males of the animal kingdom are horny and roam around and the female doesn't. This doesn't apply to several animals and doesn't 'biologically' apply to humans. Several cultures have and still do share partners - that applies to females having multiple partners as well as men.
That fact alone seems to shoot your 'basic biology' out of the window. The idea behind it - if you're interested - is that in some cultures it is seen as advantageous to a child to have more than one male as a father/protector/provider.
Whether feelings of jealousy appear in those cultures I don't know but my presumption would be that - if so - they would be much less likely.
Jealousy - as far as I can see - is a cultural/social thing more than it is a biological one.

As I've just pointed out it isn't ludicrous. Your (unseen) 'countless scientific studies' just sound like rhetoric to me.
And if you are purely looking at sex from it's biological/evolutionary function (which seems to be the thrust of your argument) then - as I've said before, you must think gays are 'unnatural' and condoms are perverse.
Out of curiosity how do you feel about those two things?
