GFY DOCTORS, what's the consensus on tanning ? (pics) - GoFuckYourself.com

polish_aristocrat · 03-19-2008, 12:11 PM

What is more risky?

Tanning beds

or tanning on the beach with natural sunlight?

mattz · 03-19-2008, 12:16 PM

Tanning beds are worse...they use artificial UVA and UVB rays, which is exactly the same as the sun though. So you would think they would be the same.

In a tanning bad though you get exposure to a lot of radiation. Also, when tannning in natural sunlight, the body makes vitamin d which is good. So i would say tanning beds are more dangerous.

Eva PSC · 03-19-2008, 12:17 PM

both are just as bad. Why consciously burn your skin?

L-Pink · 03-19-2008, 12:20 PM

Real men don't use tanning beds.

Tanning beds UVB & UVA levels are controlled & are less than outside

Ultraviolet light can be helpful in many instances with people inflicted with skin diseases like psoriasis, etc. Too much of anything can and will be harmful but to say that "intentionally burning your skin" is the same as going out and tanning a bit is absurd.

My opinion is that tanning beds are better since the amount of ultraviolet light is regulated and controlled. Use the standup ones that you only stay in for 10 minutes or so.

Quote:

Tanning beds have a different ratio of UVA to UVB radiation as well as a different overall UV spectrum than sunlight does. Furthermore, the radiation levels are more intense, requiring individuals to limit their exposure to very brief periods. One study found that the amount of UVA radiation, which penetrates deeper into the skin, was anywhere from about 3-8 times greater in the tanning beds than in the light from the sun. [19]

While there appears to be a link between indoor tanning beds and cancer[20][21][22], the connection is not possible to indisputably prove because people who tan indoors also tan outdoors. Furthermore, cancer shows up decades after exposure. Last, there is a genetic component to skin cancer. None of this changes the fact that there are risks (and benefits, such as vitamin D production) associated with exposure to ultraviolet.

Women who visited a tanning parlor at least once a month were 55% more likely to later develop melanoma than women who didn't artificially suntan. Those who used sun lamps to tan while in their 20s had the greatest later risk, about 150% higher than similarly aged women who shunned tanning beds.

No tanning bad for skin, thats why at 43 people think im around the same age as my 28 yrs old wife.

woj · 03-19-2008, 12:39 PM

Only an idiot would use those, step outside for a bit each day like a normal person and get a natural tan that way...

I look younger than my actual age, I'm not concerned with faster skin aging, rather with skin cancer....

Tanning in a bed is more controlled and timed.. while if ur trying to get a tan outside u can be out there for hours

D · 03-19-2008, 12:47 PM

I'm thinking concentrated radiation is worse for you that radiation that's not so concentrated.

BTW, cool avatar, PA... what is it, exactly? Looks like a black hole, but could be any number of phenomenon, I figure.

Hey, Tony. Let's put it this way...

Mike South. Away from Atlanta (he must have known that tornado was coming) and holed up in a sleazy hotel in Dayton, Ohio. Spending most of his time hanging out in my strip club, eating sushi, and shooting Bukkakes.

Now add Lisa Sparxxx, who's coming to town this weekend to party with Mike, Felicia Fox, and me.

Things could get interesting here in the Buckeye state.

I'll keep you all posted if I survive.

I have to tan using the tanning bed because I just burn in the sun...and fake tanner is messy.

Rhesus · 03-19-2008, 01:33 PM

LOL, that's just the wrong kind of question, you just need to compare radiation dosages. But I think it's quite silly to go tanning in a salon, especially if you're a webmaster not bound to a dark, rainy place and you have plenty of time and money to get a place under the sun...

Peaches · 03-19-2008, 01:40 PM

You usually spend a LOT less time in a tanning bed than at the beach. Usually when I go to the beach it's an all day in the sun event. If I go to a tanning bed, maybe 15 minutes.

My parents started taking us to the beach when we were infants and we had beach houses from the time I was 10 that we'd spend almost every weekend and all summer at. There are pictures of me as a child where I look like I was a black person, lol! So I figure all my damage has been done and I might as well enjoy myself at the beach whenever I can w/o having to worry about slathering SPF+++ on me. If I'm going to get skin cancer it's not going to be because of what I'm doing now. I make sure my nieces are covered always because now we know it's what happens early that makes the difference.

Some of you my age might remember putting the iodine in the baby oil or using Crisco to get that really dark tan.

Ahh... it's an actual photo, and not just an artist's rendering.

Nice... which would make it impossible to be a black hole, of course (since you can't see black holes, per se) but it is the next best thing: a Pulsar.

When large stars collapse, they can form black holes. When smaller stars collapse, they can form neutrons... if neutrons are spinning around really really fast (like 60 rotations a second), they're called Pulsars... and that's what that is.

And they do look cool, for sure. Thanks for sharing.
