Looking for an online community of like-minded punters to trade tips on Australia’s sex scene?
Here in Australia we are lucky enough to have a (mostly) legalised sex industry and service standards are high. However, it always pays to be in the know before making a booking. Adult forums offer the best way to find out who is giving the best – and worst – service in your area.
In this Aussie Adult Forums Guide, we take a closer look at some of the best communities covering the adult sector here in Australia (and New Zealand), including some excellent sources for intel on the local punting scenes.
Popular Adult Forums For Australians
We start with the most famous local punter board of them all…
1. Aus99
Aus99 has over 61,000 members and 97,000+ threads — from NSFW photos and video sharing to service provider reviews.
It’s the most popular peer-to-peer review forum for Aussie punters… by some distance.
Splitting off into several specific forums, Aus99 covers all Australian states and includes both agency and shop girls as well as private escort and independent courtesans. As you’d expect, Aus99 gets most of its activity in those parts of Oz where sex work is fully legalised:
- SYD99 – Sydney Area
- BRIS99 – Brisbane Area
- MELB99 – Melbourne Area
- Private – Outcall independent escorts
Each area is split into threads relating to General Talk and After Reports where punters can share their experience of specific shops and girls.
There is also a more general area in which members can share videos and photos with each other, industry related news and feedback on the forum itself.
Powered by vBulletin, the way this community site works will be familiar to anyone who has used a similar forum platform before and once you register a free account you can set up various features to help you, including:
- Earn Reputation points for being a proactive and helpful member of the forum
- Manage subscriptions to various threads and posts
- Send and receive private messages to other members
- Create albums to store and share video/photo files
- Set up avatar and signature
- Join other groups
- Network with other members across this and other forum communities
But most importantly, it’s one of the best sources of intel for punting in the major Aussie cities. 😉
2. Punter Planet
https://punterplanet.com/forums/
Punter Planet, dubbed the ‘Home of the Escort Connoisseur’, has been around for over 15 years and will be instantly recognisable to many of our readers.
This popular escort directory and review site has amassed quite a following. In fact, Punter Planet attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every month and, whilst a lot of these people are simply there to research free information, plenty of others use the forum services to share their experiences of service providers from around Australia.
Though not nearly as extensive as Aus99, you can find escort reviews and up to date information by state. It is worth pointing out that not all areas are covered but it does extend to include those parts of the country where sex work is legalised and service providers are more active, namely in:
- New South Wales
- Victoria
- Queensland
- Western Australia
- ACT
There are also discussion areas for Tasmania and the Northern Territory plus international reviews but these require membership in order to view.
Under the area headings you will then find reviews for services providers such as:
- Private Escorts
- Escort Agencies
- Established R’N’T (Rub and Tug) Services
- FS (Full Sex) Parlours
Though non-members can see some of the detail of these forums, you will need to register a free account to access all areas as well as to post your own reviews.
Recently, we’re seeing new members are now being prompted to post an introductory thread “to prove they’re not robots” before getting access to the full boards. A bit annoying, but the topics are highly sensitive, so we can see why they’d want to keep the riff-raff spammers out.
Of course, Punter Planet is also known for its services as an escort directory. You can use the site to find working girls in your area, but as a member you can also:
- Comment on community posts and listings
- Join in with live online chat
- Publish a blog
- View more than 20,000 images shared by members
- Post classified ads
Some services are only available if you upgrade from a basic membership to a paid subscription. There are various ‘tiers’ available, with the bronze membership (good for accessing the main forums) starting at $11 per month.
3. Reddit
Coming in at #3 on our list, let’s state the obvious… Reddit is not your typical discussion forum.
It doesn’t run off vBulletin, or any of the free forum software out there. Reddit is one of the world’s largest social media platforms, and it functions just like a forum. Anonymous users trade tips, questions and pointers across a patchwork network of communities.
If you look closely, it’s an absolute goldmine for uncovering NSFW Aussie content.
There are hundreds of subreddits (individual discussion boards) covering every aspect of the Australian sex industry — from peer reviewed massage shops in Canberra, to detailed breakdowns of all the strip clubs in Goldie.
Here are a few general Aussie-related communities to whet your appetite:
- https://www.reddit.com/r/GWAustralia/ – home of exhibitionists Down Under. 193K members.
- https://www.reddit.com/r/GWDownUnder/ – for the intent of Aussie guys and gals to share their nude bodies as well as browse pics of locals in their time zones. 63K members.
- https://www.reddit.com/r/AussiePorn/ – Post any porn you have with Australians acting in it. 146K members.
- https://www.reddit.com/r/AussieGirls/ – A place for real Aussie Girls to share nude, sensual and sexy photos of themselves. 218K members.
Reddit really comes in to its own when you narrow down your search to specific cities. It’s possible to get the latest intel on just about any adult establishment in Oz. If you can’t find an existing post, create your own and somebody is bound to throw in their two cents.
Our only advice for using Reddit: be sure to have a separate account for posting about (or responding to) adult topics. People can see your entire posting history, so you really don’t want to combine those Sydney After Dark punts with your Fantasy Football analysis!
4. Red Hot Pie
https://redhotpie.com.au/Forums/
Ranked in the top 700 websites in Australia, Red Hot Pie is a popular online adult dating service with an active forum section.
Specialising in casual hook-ups, swingers parties & clubs, the site has a membership of over two million members. It’s a great site for meeting like minded ‘lifestyle’ members and more than 750,000 Aussies hit Red Hot Pie monthly to stay in contact.
If you are a swinger, a Red Hot Pie membership is worth its weight in gold. There’s no better way to get involved with the community.
The forum is pretty good, too, though it is not focused on the adult industry, more the lifestyle of casual sex and swinging. You can find discussion topics covering:
- Cuckolding
- Dogging
- Hot Wifing
- Open Relationships
- Polyamory
- BDSM
- Roleplay
- LGBT
- Swingles
- Parties and Clubs
- Dating
There are also specific boards for Guys and Girls to ask questions as well as Couples Corner.
Another popular area is the Swingers Travel section where members can share details of their experiences taking international sexcations.
One of the best parts of becoming a member on Red Hot Pie is that you can also access free chat rooms which are again categorised by interest, including:
- Adult Chat
- Social Chat
- Kinks & Fetish Chat
- Couples Chat
- LGBT Chat
- Text Only Chat
Registration is free and allows you access to many more community features of the site including amateur pics, sex stories and competitions.
Unlike the other forums on our list, Red Hot Pie’s status as Australia’s leading swinger community means that you’ll be interacting with just as many women as men.
5. TalkinSex
TalkinSex describes itself as “the sex newspaper” for the Australian industry, and it’s certainly grown at a healthy tick since we last checked in.
The forum now has over 18,700 registered members, with the most active members contributing over 20,000 posts each. 🫨
Discussions on the site are split into States and include threads and posts on:
- AMPs
- Brothels
- Private Escorts
- Erotic Massage
As well as covering states, popular cities have their own sections plus they cover Tasmania and New Zealand. In these areas you can find service provider reviews as well as information on venues operating in these states. It’s a pretty useful way for punters to share details of any changes to rosters and opening times and to recommend good service.
The general forums include areas for sex workers to discuss industry matter as well as specific areas of their work including fetish, fantasy and trans issues.
The public forum is also popular and very active with posts being discussed on subjects like:
- Sex Education and Safer Sex
- Health & Weight
- Beauty & Style
- Body Art
- Relationships
- Sports
- History of Prostitution and Sex Work in Australia
Usefully, there is also an area for international reviews and news which covers a lot of Asian cities which could be useful for anyone thinking of travelling to Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia etc.
It’s free to register, and members seem pretty open and friendly towards newbies.
6. Eccie
Eccie is one of the fastest growing online communities of escorts, hobbyists and providers. The site offers a mix of escort galleries and reviews as well as discussion forums and chat.
Mostly used in the United States but with worldwide visitor numbers in excess of 1.5 million per month it is pretty much being used in all countries from Australia to United Arab Emirates.
The sub-forum for Australia and New Zealand pales in comparison to the USA side of the site but you can still find some recent reviews and posts relating to service providers in Oz.
Aside from the lack of Aussie reviews, the site’s global community is very active on a range of other topic that are more universal.
With more than 600,000 members contributing to Eccie, there are more than 15 million posts being shared on subjects from altsex to upscale entertainment and lavish lifestyles. Off-topic discussions include funny stuff, politics and sports as well as international hobbyist news and advice.
Although this isn’t strictly speaking an Aussie forum, the national web stats for 2024 suggest it is one of the most visited adult boards by fellow Aussies.
7. Adult Forum NZ
And, finally, not forgetting our visitors from New Zealand… we have the Adult Forum NZ.
Covering a mind-boggling array of topics and discussions, this site offers Kiwis a whole range of ways to talk about the adult industry in the Land of the Long White Cloud.
The forum has a total of 47,700+ registered members of whom around 900 are regularly active and together contribute to more than 69,000 threads covering 705,000 posts.
Areas of the forum include:
- Updates from escorts on touring and promotions
- Reviews of escorts working in New Zealand
- Nationwide escort directory
- Sex advice for men and women
- Classifieds
- Kink Corner
- Sex Stories
- Eye Candy (XXX pics, clips and vids shared by members)
There are also some more general areas where you can get involved with this community, including relationship discussions, LGB Talk and Trans Forum, plus off-topic and on-topic lobbies.
It’s a really diverse discussion site with plenty of hot topics and posts creating some good banter, plus it’s a very useful way to get some peer-to-peer reviews of woman working in New Zealand.
Powered by vBulletin (the same company behind Aus99) there are lots of features to help manage your profile and keep track of your user history.
