Did they control for regional cultural attitudes towards sex?
It was a twin study entirely within the UK.
Edit: Your first citation says they didn't find a link between infidelity and genetics, but did with environment.
I don't think that's correct. I think you are willfully reading what you want, and your paraphrase leaves out a key detail.
Our findings demonstrate that infidelity and number of sexual partners are both under moderate genetic influence (41% and 38% heritable, respectively) and the genetic correlation between these two traits is strong (47%). Conversely, attitudes towards infidelity are driven by shared and unique environmental, but not genetic, influences.
The study found that environmental factors shape attitude towards infidelity, but "infidelity and number of sexual partners are both under moderate genetic influence."
