Maybe you can encourage him to take up smoking, too?
Tanning is carcinogenic. Tanning beds are no safer than tanning outdoors. It seems to me as though he is the sensible one here.

Ok...so I would never try to get someone to smoke. They are completely different. Tanning beds are not as bad as people think they are. If you have your own private bed at home and are tanning all day long, then yes they are very dangerous. Now, if you tan say once a week for no longer then 12 min in uvb and 15 in uva bed, they are not as harmful. If you use tanning lotions and eye protection, they are even less! The lotion helps stop free radicals. The problem is that people just go with what others say without doing their own research.0 -
If I were to go, I need to call it burning instead

mmmhmmm.... And how much of your 'own research' have you done? Apart from promotional materials provided by the manufacturers of tannning beds, which is hardly impartial. Because in a 5-minute Pubmed search I turn up 54 actual scientific studies showing that tanning beds represent a measurable risk factor for later diagnosis of BCC, SCC and melanoma. Of course risk is dose-dependent, but I'm curious to know how many people actually adhere to '12 minutes once per week'.
Perhaps you can also explain the science behind '..tanning lotion...helps stop free radicals'.
I am strongly of the opinion that the promotion of tanning beds as 'safe' and/or 'safer than sun exposure' is irresponsible, and contradicted by current scientific knowledge.0 -
I thought the tanning fad ended years ago....
...I have been out of the states for too long :laugh:
(Here everything from lotions to makeup is labeled "whitening" and has some kind of skin bleaching stuff in it.)
If the guy wants to tan then whatever floats his boat.0 -
Obviously I do not have a preference as long as its not my skin.0
-
Did someone say "bacon"? :huh:0
-
Plus, there's something so cute about when a guy has a nice (natural) tan on his legs and chest/back and then a really white butt.
BINGO.0 -
Not a fan - on anyone!0
-
No thanks. That goes for girls too. I'm not a fan of the tan.0

What a miserable way to live your life...
I also drive fast cars, spend hours on the beach, drink alcohol, take dozens of dubious supplements, engage in reckless adrenaline junkie activities. And I woulsnt have it any other way.0 -

:noway: :huh:
honey, please go to google scholar and just do a quick search on the affects of tanning beds. THAT is what others are saying. While you are at it, go ahead and search the scholarly articles on Vitamin D from tanning beds. There is so little evidence of vD that it is suggested even more studies need to be conducted just to find something substantial. If you are depressed, you need real sunshine or more help than a tanning bed can give you.
That being said, I don't care who roasts their buns. It's not for me or anyone I associate with.0 -

I was never provided with material. I went to the local hospital and got my own info. I have also done a lot of online research of my own too. Many therapists and dermatologists recommend it once a week. We have a lot of people that do not over expose and only tan once or twice a week. We do have a lot of people preparing for vacation so they are not miserable. We do have people that tan everyday, but they do not over expose(burn). When you over expose, this starts the stages of melanomas. Tanning lotions, good ones at least, are silicon based and are dripping with antioxidants. these motorize the skin and help protect your skin form becoming dehydrated. By all means, they are not "safe", but neither is alcohol, fat, or even breathing. You would have to be in a plastic bubble to be "safe". But even that is not safe because of the chemicals used to make plastic.0 -
I think that if its okay for woman, then its okay for men... not a fan of the spray tan thou on anyone...reminds me of the ompa'loopmas in Chocolate Factory... ORANGE0

Men have just as much of a right to look like an old leather jacket as women.0

Good for you - everyone has the right to choose for themselves to engage in whatever risky behaviours they choose. However, I assume you are aware that these behaviours involve risk. My objection here is that the OP is suggesting to her BF, who is reluctant, that he engage in behaviour she is characterising as safe (and even beneficial), when the evidence in fact shows that it is the opposite.
We all here happily and eagerly 'educate' newbies who post on the boards about trying out the latest fad diet, I see no difference here - this is promotion of something as safe that is known not to be. If you posted about how you achieved awesome health improvements from those 'dubious supplements' I imagine you'd get some criticism, too.0 -
This is why I decided to be born black.
You and me both!0 -
I really do not want drama on this ppl! I just wanted opinions. My boyfriend does not tan because of what it may or my not do to him, but because it's "not manly". Nothing to do with risk behavior.0
-
I live on the beach, so it isn't an issue for most of the men I know. But honestly, I'm big into natural color, no matter what that color happens to be. People who turn golden in the sun can be pretty hot. People who turn from a pale peach to a raisin, not so much. I see a lot of raisins.
I might single handedly support Coppertone by my use of sunscreens, though. I'm as pale as a vanilla birthday cake. Even though I am on the beach every single day. Cancer kinda sucks.0 -

"motorize the skin"....???
I sincerely doubt you will find 'many' or even 'a few' dermatologists who recommend indoor tanning, ever.0 -

Believe it or not, 9 out of 11 in a 20 mile radius of where i live, do. I is great for adults with sever acne. I found it very interesting.0 -
I fake tanned a few years ago when I was going to go on a cruise because I didn't want to burn. I don't really mind if a guy tans, but all things in moderation. No one should look fake.0

The AAD's list of recommendations for acne sufferers includes "Stay out of the sun and tanning beds".
There is, however, a common and effective treatment for cystic acne called 'blue-light therapy" which is narrow-band blue (i.e., visible) light at 405-430nm. This is not the same as UV light (max 400nm), and outside the range emitted by either UVA or UVB tanning lamps. Perhaps this is what the dermatologists are promoting? I think it would be surprising if they would all be contradicting the standard-practice guidelines from their professional association.0 -

On no, I made sure they were talking about in door tanning beds. They did say, however, that is depends on your type of acne. It is bacterial, they recommend the beds, if it is (insert technical name here) you need to take medication that will kill it from the outside in.0 -

I am not a fan at all...I prefer a natural look on men (and women)
