Any of you guys hit the tanning bed regularly?

How do these tanning beds work anyways? Do you pay up front for a half hour session and the meter starts once you get inside the room?

If so most of these douches wouldn't get much of a tan anyway since they would be spending about 24 of those minutes taking off all their polos.

I love all the educated stereotyping in this thread. I guess I should've expected it though.

I can roll with it.

The only time I've ever tanned was 3 weeks before a trip to Florida. I went twice, and both times was really uncomfortable. Just felt too metro-sexual for me. Never again.

Not worth it at all, looking a little "better" in your youth to pay the price tenfold a few years down the line? No thanks.

I disagree. It's a case by case thing because everyone's skin is different. My parents, when they were still using ours at home, got in the tanning bad once a week and kept their tan just fine.

My grandmother just turned 60. She owned a huge commercial tanning bed that she used for years, but she didn't abuse it and she took care of herself. She's perfectly healthy.

In most examples of someone suffering from the side effects of tanning, it was someone who mis used their tanning bed and were not educated properly. If you don't abuse tanning beds.. they really aren't that bad.

Myself, I've got in ours twice and I really just don't have any urge to do it again because it requires too much effort. I spend plenty of time out in the sun, during the summer months...
