Tanning beds...

[penguinz]

Yay or nay?

[KCUnited]

For chicks I'm fina pile drive, yay.

[MTG#10]

I go maybe 10 times during the spring to get a base so I dont fry in the summer. Been doing this for 10 years and haven't had a bad sunburn since. About the only "metro" thing I do.

[Saulbadguy]

I've got a tanning bed at home. You should look in to it.

Another martini?

[BigCatDaddy]

Something about be naked and that nice warm heat makes me want to rub one out every time.

If you get one I ain't posting in your prayer thread about cancer.

[DaFace]

I have a friend whose sister has made a fortune at her salon from tanning beds. I'd never set foot in one myself though.

If you want skin cancer yes

[penguinz]

I go all the time. Tanning does not cause skin cancer. Getting fried all the time increases that risk.

[Simply Red]

I do - I try to stay dark enough in the summer - and just a tad in the months like now - I haven't gone for about 2 months now - I'll join again w/in 3 weeks or so. Esp. since you train Pen. Absolutely - why not? - it even makes you look bigger for some reason, as you probably already know - I can get really dark from the European on my mom's side.

I prefer a little color - so I say yes. And girls like it, don't think they don't - just don't get orange or get obsessed with it and you'll be fine.

[Simply Red]

just throw a towel only covering your junk and rest away. It's actually fairly relaxing.

Yeah, that's bullshit.

When you are in any type of ultraviolet light your thymine bases are damaged, forming dimers. This is so common that DNA has a specific proofreading mechanism that is designed solely to find these point mutations. It will fix the vast, vast majority of them, but the more exposure you have the more likely several are to slip by the goalie in a manner that can lead to an oncogenic mutation.

[Bugeater]

I've never understood the fascination with tanning for men or women. But whatever floats your boat..

[penguinz]

You can find links between just about everything and causing cancer. I bet there is absolutely no way at all it can be genetics that are more to blame than anything else.

It is a good thing that UV is not responsible for creation of any crucial vitamins the body needs to be healthy.

[Hammock Parties]

Yeah but he knows a lot of other non-medical shit too. Probably just well read. He reminds me of an asshole version of my dad. With less conservative values.

Just because something is harmless or even beneficial in smaller amounts doesn't mean that larger amounts it can't be harmful or even lethal.

[Why Not?]

Men use tanning booths?

[Silock]

Spray tan bro.

[ThaVirus]

Got a natural tan, homie. Shit is year-round.

I wouldn't fuck with a tanning bed if I were white though. UV rays are really horrible for your skin.

[LoneWolf]

I remember a time when I thought tan women were more attractive. Somewhere along the way that dropped out of being a factor. Maybe it's because of the connotation that it is unhealthy.

yep...had one just like that on the same spot. they cut it all out, then cut another chunk of skin off in front of my ear and spliced it into my nose. fuckin hurt.

had that shit cut off my shoulders, back, chest, legs and all around my belly button.

also cut a chunk of melanoma the size of the palm of your hand off my back. took out all the lymph nodes out from under my right arm.

have to go to the onocologist(sp? wgaf!) every 3 months for checkups.

I use sunscreen every damn day on my face, and when I'm outside I smear it all over. don't give a damn what I look like.

never used a tanning bed. never really went w/o a shirt too much. shit's nasty.
sec

[BucEyedPea]

I'm pasty white and live in Florida. I would never go into a tanning bed. Did in Boston a few times. I get a little sun outdoors in the spring/summer from walks and being around my pool, because getting some Vit D is good for ya'. But I no longer fry like I did when younger.

I would rather get a spray tan than use a tanning bed.

[Bwana]

Nope. I did however get back from Belize last night so I'm not in need.

That has been a varying cultural construct. A few centuries ago a tan was unattractive because it was a sign that you had to work outside and thus, were poor.

It only became a desirable trait in the 20th century.

[GloryDayz]

Goot point, it's an open-air dry sauna and tanning bed.

Vitamin D. Most people don't get enough sun exposure to generate enough vitamin D. Especially in the winter. Therefore tanning bed.

Tuna, fortified milk, vitamin D supplement. I mean, all better than skin cancer, am I right?!?!?!?

Tanning beds are the dumbest damned thing on Earth.

I disagree.

Many a stripper in the 80's and early 90's looked beyond hot with strategically placed "Tan Toos".

Plus, if I didn't mention it, they looked hot.

Dude, my friend's sister was an "80's bed tanner", and even then, her skin looked like melanoma's wet dream. I bet she looks like horse leather now.

It isn't the same as you get from UV. And they do not cause cancer.

Yes I do have dark skin naturally, and even with sunscreen on, I'll get a tan. Not sure where it comes from because our lineage is all white, but I look Semi-Mexican skin tone in the summer, especially after our move to Phoenix and having a pool.

I'm jealous. Even by whitey standards I can't get a tan worth a shit, only a nice red color :facepalm: It does help with the TRT enduced acne quite a bit though.

I remember thinking you might be Hispanic after watching a vid you posted in the fitness thread.

I think you even had the douchey blowout.

Just an update for the OP. I think this weekend might cause a Vitamin D overload. Any idea if that's possible? Outside 4 hours yesterday with no clouds. Today 2 hours already and it's only noon. I'll probably spend a few more hours outside this afternoon getting my lime/orange tree fertilized. And fertilize the tomatoes which look like will produce a nice batch in about 2 weeks.

After all that I might just sit outside in the sun some more, drink and read by the pool. Supposed to be 80 here so I'll probably go topless, hell maybe nude. No two story homes by us so I can skinny dip all year and get my tan on.

And it's only February.
