Punter Planet exposed

A Melbourne-based website that bills itself as a haven of free expression has been labelled a breeding ground for misogyny, where users freely demean sex workers and discuss violence against women, sexual coercion and targeting teenagers.

The Punter Planet website has been operating for 15 years and offers a nationwide directory of brothels, escort agencies, independent sex workers and massage venues, and a forum where users can anonymously review sex workers.

“The things they write are vile, they’re disgusting, they’re really graphic,” sex worker Dallas Rayne said. “They’ve got topics and threads like how to get unprotected unsafe sex, how to coerce a younger or inexperienced worker … They’ve got threads on targeting teens.”

Rayne said posts also discussed graphic sexual violence and doxxing sex workers by exposing personal information like their home addresses and legal names, and because of the anonymity afforded to users, members “can post whatever they want with no consequences”.

A post from the Punter Planet website.
Punter Planet currently has 259,841 members. Its review forum is described as a space “where all the bad boys (and quite a few bad girls too) gather for lots of online action”, with the thousands of independent reviews “written by punters for other punters just like you”.

Punter Planet is headquartered at a Collins Street address in Melbourne and operated by Daniel Giambruno.

In screenshots seen by The Age, members discuss how to pressure sex workers into having sex without condoms. As part of a post about an “attractive young new fresh sexy teen keen to play”, user Kennedy1987 wrote: “New one at Carina house. No natural sex though. We will see how long that lasts.”

A user calling himself Conan The Impaler replied: “That will have to be the first time anyone has used a condom at the Carina house. Let’s hope she feels out of place and offers BBFS [Bare Back Full Service] soon. Guys don’t book her until BBFS is on the table.”

In another post, a user posted a negative review of a sex worker because she did not agree to choking or having her hair pulled.

“Honestly, don’t expect a GFE [Girlfriend Experience] cause you won’t get it,” he posted. “All I got was ‘No! Don’t choke me or hold my neck’, ‘No! I don’t like people touching my hair’.”

Rayne has launched a petition calling for the website to be taken down.

Rayne said her legal name has been posted on the website and threats made to circulate a video of her having sex.

“Punter Planet is a forum that claims to offer a platform for free expression, but it has become a breeding ground for misogynistic statements and unacceptable behaviour towards women in the Australian adult industry and sex workers,” the Change.org petition states.

“The forum allows posts that promote violence against women, enabling an environment that excuses harassment and stalking under the guise of ‘freedom of speech’.”

One signatory calling herself Sarah wrote: “This website and the men on it have made me feel unsafe in my work on many occasions by threatening a bad review and to ‘end my career’ if I do not get what they want.”

Another signatory said: “Promotes misogyny, stalking, doxxing and violence against vulnerable women.”

However, another signatory defended Punter Planet. “So reviews for any other business/service is fine but for SW [Sex Workers] it’s different? Silly hypocrite,” ILove wrote.

A spokesperson for the eSafety Commission said that while it did not have the power to remove entire websites, it could assess whether content targeting a specific Australian adult constituted “adult cyber abuse”.

“The term adult cyber abuse is reserved for the most severely abusive material that is intended to cause serious psychological or physical harm,” the spokesperson said. “This may include content that sets out realistic threats, places people in danger, and is excessively malicious or unrelenting.”

Where the commission receives a report and identifies adult cyber abuse, it can direct the removal of that material. 

Matthew Roberts, a sex worker and advocate for sex workers’ rights, said people had the right to be respected as skilled workers and to have their dignity and privacy respected.

“For too long, sex workers have associated the Punter Planet brand with sexism and bottom-of-the-barrel debates about women’s bodies,” he said.

Roberts also said that while clients had a legitimate right to review sex workers, it was essential for websites to moderate comments and foster a respectful culture.

However, Roberts said Punter Planet had been plagued by allegations of misogyny via its forum for years. “I doubt reforms to Punter Planet’s moderation processes can fix an entrenched culture of disrespect and sexism.”

Rayne launched the petition, which currently has more than 250 signatures, after she became increasingly concerned with what was being posted on the website.

When she asked users on Punter Planet to stop posting comments which she said were defamatory, one user disclosed her legal name on the forum and another threatened to circulate a video of her having sex.

Rayne said many sex workers were scared to speak out about the website after users had threatened legal action or to identify the sex workers when complaints had been raised.

“I have been subjected to ongoing harassment, public shaming, stalking and abuse,” Rayne said.

Punter Planet and Giambruno were contacted for comment but did not respond.

Perhaps there’s more demand for gay sex than straight sex when it comes to male service providers?

[Punt2Win]

Over the years I've come across racist and violent comments here and there on youtube. So youtube will probably be taken down any day now.

[HiredGoon]

I think the petition is a bit pointless and I’m not familiar with Punter Planet but “ a breeding ground for misogynistic statements and unacceptable behaviour towards women in the Australian adult industry and sex workers,” and promotion of BBFS could easily apply to this forum at times.

[11Bravo]

We have right to review girls since so many are more interested in ripping punters off and providing shit services.
MY experience has been the exact opposite. As is often said, YMMV.

[Wayne]

Yes, exactly. I can’t only recall a handful of bad punts over my 50 years of punting. Literally one in a thousand. It’s only self-entitled little mummy boys that complain about women selling themselves to make ends meet.

[Double_Adapter]

Sounds like a pissed of SW has an axe to grind.

Maybe so… but if you compare the news article photos with what's on SB, there's a noticeable difference (shes aging like milk). I get the impression that biz is slowing down and/or drying up, and she's trying to get herself into the headlines for extra publicity and visibility....essentially free advertising and marketing to get more bookings.

https://scarletblue.com.au/escort/dallas-rayne

[I_luv_doggie.]

There's obviously more going on than just being pissed off by a ‘bad’ review or 2.

But, would still bone her if I got the opportunity.

[justincase]

Is it? I see less foot traffic, less people in restaurants. Possibly it is.

[11Bravo]

Of course. Given it's a business, doesn't make too much business sense to alienate your customer demographic. Now if you're not in that demographic, e.g. I don't expect too much attention if I wander in to a Hermes or Coach shop... To a certain number, I AM invisible. Doesn't bother me, I read the room. I don't feel "entitled" just because I have the coin; it's MUTUAL consent. Nor do I expect a gourmet meal at a fast food restaurant, then complain when the meal is missing some garnish.

In my decades of punting in several climes, sure there are occasions where my fantasy does not match her reality, but that's not a "bad" punt. Now I know what her experience is like with me. "Bad"/ripoff punts are so few and far between, they're noise. The VAST majority, FUN and ENTERTAINING. I always have more repeats than I can repeat.

[11Bravo]

Pp is mostly a Melbourne based review forum although expanded now. Try getting Sydney service at an Asian joint in Melbourne, even the tope st days don't compare to regular Sydney punting.
Well then, there's your problem.

As I've said before, I NEVER compare "here and there", "then and now". I don't expect 90's BKK service in SYD, I don't expect pre-covid DXB service in BKK. You simply look at the location, know the local methodology, the going rates, and decide for yourself - is it worth it to you or not. But that's NOT "ripping punters off" nor "providing shit services".

Never been to MEL. My only complaint about SYD is like I said above, I just don't have the time or energy to repeat the all who would be repeats. Never been ripped, and just because she didn't provide the services I wanted, I don't consider that "shit". That's just knowledge gained.

Any reason or reasons why?

The layout, I might be dumb but I can't work out how to navigate, how to find the latest reviews, everything is in it's own little box.

This place is much better.

Although I did find some info on some certain chicks there that I was looking for so there is that.

Fair enough. I get that as initially it also took me a while to figure out.
It’s definitely worth persevering with .

Interesting to see a sex worker, who by definition is selling her body for money, is now complaining about misogyny.

Bottom line: she knows that she is not good, and punters are not happy with her service.

She is killing her own prospects for getting business.

Interesting that you see a sex worker as being someone who should accept misogyny in the workplace. Maybe you're the kind of guy she's talking about.

Well said. She's just a pissed off worn out old boiler Karen, who's had some punters post the real deal on her. Blokes who say it how it is instead of sugarcoating it like so many weak ass simps do nowdays across punter forums.
Like what sort of a loser would pay such an ugly hag even a hundred dollars to fuck her stinky loose pussy. It really is beyond belief how degraded the industry here in Australia has become in the past 5-6 years.
Yuck.

And another guy proving her point. You don’t have to see her. And there’s no need for dickheads to post her real name online just because they’re salty. Dudes get so mad when a woman wants autonomy at work. I’m paying so just stfu and let me do what I want!”

Oh and that makes me “soy boy” apparently. So many dudes drinking the internet alpha cool aid without realising that women hate them even more than they hate women.

Over and out to all you testosterone worshiping, compensating sad cunts. I have no doubt any replies will only back this up.

EnjoY!

I’m with you HG. It’s obvious that the polarisation in society has become supercharged these days. Here, in Australia, seems that Gillard’s retort to Abbott was so articulate that it crystallised resentment and ironically gave licence to the little mummy boy egotist Warty Bliggins. Good on you for calling them out.

So they conjured up a comic just to to say it's ok to be a soy boy. Then scrolling to the bottom and there's an acknowledgement of country to top it off. Comedy gold!

I would find it absolutely exhausting to be so uptight and eggshell walking 24/7/365. It is exhausting just to think of it.

[justincase]

Here I am thinking “soy boy” had a different connotation. What I find interesting is the supposition that the most recent two generations of men have lower testosterone than the preceding.

Besides work and money all I think about is sex. What are the rest thinking about?

I'm just going to have to join the minority here with you. Seems a number of yapping pups don't understand hypocrisy. "Yea, that bitch complaining about being outed, real name ... Oh, by the way, does that new shop have a back entrance? That front entrance is just too exposed..." as we use handles rather than real names (is an all caps handle meant to be masculine, too lazy to use the shift key, or a need to try and call attention to oneself?) Seems a number feel threatened by a female being outspoken, not knowing her place.

I was buying soy milk in the cartons about 15 years ago and it was a combination of getting sick of it and reading about it ***king with your hormones put me right off it for good.

I know for a fact that the girls at some of the better establishments look at the comments on varies sites on a daily basis .
They tend to know the actual punter who is writing the review.
And I know this because a previous girl I would see told me and she could identify the clients

I dunno what the deal is seriously. I've been an active member of PP for years and its always been the coolest place to discuss everything. Its the best community there, and everyone respects everyone else, even the most fuckhead members who talk shit are respected. It really is a close knit chilled community Punterplanet.

It's sad to see some self proclaimed cocksucking whore who's had miles of man meat in her orifices open that disgusting Karen mouth and start talking shit about a well respected forum. And yes, well respected amongs tens of thousands of punters and ML's and WL's alike.


Or a dirty faggot for that matter, yes A FAGGOT. Matthew Roberts.
A Fag with a capital F. An effeminate queer-eye gay poofter homosexual who just happened to get butt-hurt by reading something that didn't sit well with him. Like anyobody gives a fuck.
Go and complain to your fucken LGBTQI+ group you fucking loser. You suck dick for a living and take it up the shitter you dirty little cocksucker.

Seems to me that any forum that's been around for a number of years (think I saw 15 somewhere), with a large membership/following and well respected, then some dissenting opinions/accusations shouldn't really be a problem and be taken in stride.

However, you'll have to excuse a slight iota of doubt about "Its the best community there, and everyone respects everyone else, even the most fuckhead members who talk shit are respected. It really is a close knit chilled community Punterplanet." given the following description of the dissenters. If this is "chill', damn, I'd hate to see what's hot.

Seems to me there just might be a vested interest here causing the rise in temperature. One would hope, anyway. Otherwise, it's just a forum. Just sayin...

There is a common pattern of women who are getting past it trying to pull the ladder up behind them. Of course, if they can’t have it anymore why should any other woman? What ms Rayne mightn’t be taking into account is all the reviews that have driven clientele her way and grown her business from good reviews. The punting world is fraught with scams and dodginess, transparency and information sharing should be upheld.

Any reviews that encourage mistreatment or doxxing should be banned and removed instantly, but doesn’t mean you throw the baby out with the bath water

Something I’ve learnt from comment sections is the poor level of reading comprehension amongst the average poster. If anyone thought this thread demonstrates misogyny they need to go back to primary school and learn basic skills.

do they mean this. where do they talk about wanting syd99 canceled on the petition. or did she say she wants to get lawsuit for here to?

It's guys like Aussiehotguy who give PP a bad reputation to begin with. I had the guts to use my full legal name in the media to talk about the sex industry and sex workers' rights. I appreciate comments that are meaningful and useful.

The definition of misogyny these days seems to be simply “you’re doing something that I don’t like”. Yet again, the self appointed torchbearers of open mindedness and tolerance trying to shut down opinions and conversations about anything that doesn’t align with their ideas of appropriateness.
