Surely you are acquainted with the idea of degrees of sexual orientation. I would suppose that closeted married men were not repulsed by heterosexual sex, but that there are those who are towards the pure pole of homosexual orientation who are thus repulsed. In any case, since it is necessary to procreate, and better if both parents stay together to raise children, it is would have been necessary to force some of our primitive ancestors to perform heterosexual functions against inclination. It would not have been merely a matter of "social structures", but of biological imperative. Even assuming that a large enough number could "pitch hit", it surely would have been a source of internal turmoil surrounding the whole matter, and would have made it difficult to have maintained households to share childrearing. So it would have been maladaptive merely in the sense that it would have made it hard to produce and raise the next generation.
