How about the sex ratio being just the opposite ... three men married to one woman? It would fit the 'service' notion more aptly at certain ages.

Polyandry is virtually unknown in human history because men are aggressively territorial and have a tendency to violently dispose of other men who sleep with their women, regardless of what social arragnements are in place.

Polygyny is, on the other hand, common in human history - largely for economic reasons. Women could assure a far better life for themselves and their children being one of a wealthy and powerful man's five wives than by having a stableboy all to themselves. ;)
