Men using sun beds

I know a few lads who use em, you dont need to spend long on them (5mins or so) and not very often at all. As for whether they cause skin cancer or not im not to sure.

They do not cause it directly. It's like smoking, it simply increases the risk. The frequency of use and type of skin reflects how much the risk is increased.

in my college class theirs about 20 of us, and 1 gay fella, he is a nice enough bloke but he looks like a orange ice lolly has been slapped on his face, Tanning is just a waste even if you get 5 minutes free.

dont do it lad give it to your girlfriend or something.

The point isn't to be Orange you fool!

It's to have a healthy looking glow.

Being white as a sheet makes you look ill.

You don't need to go under a tanning bed to look healthy. You simply go outside and get a bit of natural sun exposure. Then you look fine.

Either extreme of being pasty white or tangoed looks hilarious. Especially in the middle of winter when you see poser boys with an odd tone to their skin and panda eyes.

I'm not one to normally use them, only go on them few weeks before holiday so i dont get burnt. This way you got a sexeh tan after holiday without having to sunbath (fall asleep) thus getting burnt.

Well that logic is undeniable.

squiffy · 21 Jun 2007 at 13:40

You mean inverted panda eyes?

No I actually mean they cut out a panda's eye and affix it to their face, what else?

SK07 · 21 Jun 2007 at 13:43

Right ive just had a letter through the door from my gym and it gave me a free 5 minute sunbed session. Im sort of tempted by this as im really pasty white due to my bedroom tan My questions:
1. Is this for men, or is it a bit gay?

GAY

bakes0310 said:
2.Does this really cause skin cancer?

At this point you should be realising you are gay and thinking of moisturisers and lady things

bakes0310 said:
3. How long should you stay in a sunbed for?

Now you should be contemplating if ruby red lipstick matches your tones.

bakes0310 said:
4. How long until you start seeing the results?

Time to start leg waxing.

bakes0310 said:
5. what do you wear, im not going comando?

Time to think if your a skirt or dress lady.

I must be immune to the gay rays emmited from the Sunbeds then, as i am yet to be attracted to a guy ! :cool:

You haven't come across the right guy yet then. You're not attracted to every girl you see are you?

brocksta · 21 Jun 2007 at 13:53

why on earth would you bother using a sub bed now? Yea the weather has been pretty crap but its the flipping summer. Just get out of your bedroom and into your garden and get a more natural looking tan for free.

iCraig · 21 Jun 2007 at 13:56

I know, it's crazy. Why pay to sit under artificial lamps with goggles on for an unnatural tan, when I can go outside, for free, in my own back garden, get a safer and more natural tan, comfortably.

It's for gays and those are are insecure about having normally coloured skin.

Being gay? Yeah probably.

I thought we agreed it was for gays and weirdos?

You should be having sex with another man within 2-4 weeks.

The tiny little pink thong at the back of your drawer.

I haven't laughed out loud in ages

Personally I dont think it does either of them any favors lol.

Sexy bronze it isnt. Am I a geek that stays in doors. Certainly not. I do quite a bit of surfing and totally understand what damage UV rays do to your skin and I try to avoid at all costs.

I will get flamed for saying this but am I the only one that thinks Sun Beds are a little chav-tastic too. I dont mean to be rude just my take on it.
