Val is monogamous only because of Faye. Originally, he didn't want to do it at all and fussed and argued with her. But then he realized "Hey I can tell her I'll be monogamous and sleep with her and then bail." Only he then realized he really enjoyed having a hot, rich woman to buy him everything he wanted.
That lifestyle doesn't necessarily fit with Seeker culture and I've played Val's manwhore attitude into his past: his tribe punished him often, especially his father, and he was constantly ridiculed for it to the point of being kicked out of his tribe. I've played it that they are to respect their women and not treat them like objects, whereas Val does precisely the opposite.
Anyway, there are ways to make it work. Val still struggles with it from time to time to the point that he gets uncomfortable with being alone with an attractive lady because he doesn't much trust himself. And even if he isn't particularly fond of monogamy, he has to admit the perks that come with his situation are pretty nice.
