I'd recommend using an adult designer and not a mainstream one. Your guy is thinking too hard.

Do a google search on design colors you'll see tons of articles backing up the theory of psychological color schemes.
I mostly agree with you, but my testing was done in adult sites, I don't own any mainstream site, so it works in adult as well. The red thing is a must, I usually have any important link or button in red and it really makes a difference in clicks, so you're right there.

Either way, back to the OP , I crazy as it sounds I think your designer might be pretty spot on. However, you should look for similar sites you like and do some research on the traffic they get, that should give you a better idea on how things will work for your site
