Adult Entertainment Laws in Lebanon
Rechtliche Übersicht
Lebanon has a dormant licensing system and a criminal ban on prostitution. A 1931 law regulates licensed brothels, with governor's permits, police registration of the women and twice-weekly medical checks, but licences reportedly stopped being issued in 1975. Article 523 of the Penal Code punishes anyone who engages in prostitution or facilitates it with one to three years in prison and a fine; since a 2020 amendment the text no longer limits this to "secret" prostitution. Other articles punish luring a person into prostitution even with consent, holding a person in a brothel, using public means to attract people to debauchery and living off another's prostitution. General Security still issues "artist" visas for foreign women working in tourist establishments, long reported as a front for prostitution.

In der Praxis
Whoever habitually facilitates, for gain, the enticement of the public to debauchery with others, or uses the means of publicity in Article 209(2)–(3) (speech or cries, including by mechanical means; writings, pictures or films shown in public or distributed) to attract people to debauchery, faces one month to one year and a fine of LBP 20,000–200,000 (Art. 526). No provision names online advertising. Directories may not list escort services here: a site that carries other people's ads can be prosecuted or fined.
