While nothing is etched in stone and every male dragon is different, it has been my experience that a "mature" male will not continuously try to breed a female. Unless, that is, she is removed and re-introduced to the cage frequently or he is able to see another displaying male. However a young male can, and will, try and breed every female and often be belligerent about it. Usually a 1.2 mature trio is stable though.
The problem I have run into is the stress on the females. Having to be submissive every time you turn around is tough on them, really tough if the male is dominant enough that she has to wait to feed. Females need a break especially after egg laying to recuperate.
