Yes it was an opinion, which I acknowledged, and one which paints a group of people in an inferior light. Wether your intention was that or not it doesn't matter, you come off as calling others weak.
As for does it matter what you think, this is a discussion board, meant to discuss (well the lounge anyways). Not much point in having one sided discussions is it?
As for random sampling. You seem to approach the question in the form of only the woman in the relationship is permitted to sleep around. I've stated already in equality and fairness. I see no way in which taking steps which allow a man to sleep with other woman as being "whipped".
Primal instincts are not within us all (beyond fight/fligh survival instincts).
Regardless of wether you poon or not. Some men (and women - this is inherent in all people) will shift their personality towards whatever the person they're with wants it to be. This is something in human nature, not something specific to pooning (what the shift is however may be, albeit it would apply to swingers and sexually open people not within the industry as well).
Alot of your assumptions are based on the supposed fact that sex is sacred or always intimate. It's not for some people, for some its just a fun activity, for others its work; neither of those groups place the importance on sex which you do. Frankly sex isn't even the most fun activity I can do. I'm sure many providers have clients who are great sexual partners, doesn't mean they want to form a relationship with them. Besides there is a very, very large difference between casual sex and the sex between two people who have a genuine connection and care about each other (ie those in a relationship) - I can assure you, the "other man" is not getting one of these types of sex.
Not withstanding the fact that I dont believe women fall for dominant personalities, this being based on experience. Generally amongst a group of friends years ago I was more often than not dominanting the conversations in the bar, the rough housing (or whatever you want to call it), what we were doing and where. Yes I got laid, however I also got a friend of ours laid quite often (granted he did have a much easier face than mine) as often times the women surrounding us would find me opinionated, at times rude or mean (aka "what a dick!") or I just generally "talked myself out of the sale"; whereas he just kind of hovered around being quiet occasionally adding to the convo/activities/whatever and just generally having a good time. The supposed human nature of wanting qualities "X" are really only applicable for initial attractions, beyond that (ie an actual relationship, and I'm not referring to the casual kind) it becomes much more cerebral (emotional/mental/stability/equality/respect).
Mating lions is a terrible analogy. When animals mate it's for procreation. The continuation of your genes. When we have sex I'm pretty sure most of the time we wish to avoid procreation, no alot of the sex we have is simply for physical pleasure.
Using weight lifting ability to demonstrate point of reference is also improper. We are discussing qualifiable things, subjective things. How much you can bench is an objective and quantifiable thing.
Frankly you see an open relationship as someone fucking your SO. I view it as an opportunity to have casual meaningless sex with other woman, have threesomes and foursomes with my partner, and a freedom not to have to repress any desires which may arise (and also not deal with the associated guilt). You are viewing the cost, I view what I gain. As I've said earlier, I'm not particular to a relationship being open or monogamous, but I will take open each and everytime if I believe my partner's desires lay in that direction (and not because it's what she wants, but because of how I will benefit).
And yes, these views have been long standing with myself, my hobby was begun less than a year ago (although I've always said I'd have no problem paying for it - so maybe the attitude makes one a pooner, not the pooning making ones attitude hmmm?)
