I've never really taken it as canon that Tias get no sex while Nunhs get it all, to be honest. You don't see anything like that in human cultures, nor do you see it among mammals.
There's an interesting thing that crops up when you look at the genetics of the kids of animals in a Seeker-style group (where one male mates with the females and the other males don't mate at all): There's a sizable fraction of the kids who are not actually the children of the breeding male. One of the prevailing theories to explain that, amusingly called the "Sneaky Fucker Theory" says basically that these other males are mating with the females while the breeding male is off doing something else.
I can easily see something similar happening with Seekers.
I think, in Seeker culture, there's probably a lot of symbolism attached to the titles Tia and Nunh that don't necessarily bear out in practice.Â
There are a few people RPing Seekers named "blah blah Nunh" who are running around being adventurers. Where's their breeding group? Certainly not adventuring with them. I doubt that their group is somehow just waiting for them to return in the desert while they go on adventures. Yet they keep the title, probably because of its symbolic importance.
As another example, C'kayah left his tribe a decade and a half ago, yet still keeps the title Tia, despite having quite a bit of sex over the years and currently being in a Seeker-style relationship. He enjoys how the title leads to assumptions about him - in his mind, it's far better to be underestimated.
