Today, my girlfriend talked me into tanning in a tanning bed for the first time ever. I have never tanned before and didn't know you are supposed to ease into it. I tanned for 15 minutes in the "super bed" and have lobstered. My ass and nuts got the worst of it. FML

Why do you want a tan in the first place? Tanning is nothing more than destroying the skin and if you think it's healthy or it won't give you cancer, you're dead wrong. All if make you do is look brown.

I am almost certain that tanning is healthy if done right. It produces vitamin D, lowers risks of OTHER CANCERS, and the browned skin will help protect you against damage from the sun BTW, pretty much anything affects DNA Oh, anything is unhealthy if you have/do it too much. Heck, you can get OXYGEN poisoning

You only need ~10-30 minutes of SUNLIGHT on the face and arms per day to produce adequate vitamin D, depending on how light or dark your skin is. Never mind the vitamin D in your milk and cereal in the morning. Blasting your whole body with UV rays is harmful, always.

Dark skin does NOT block harmful UV rays from being absorbed. That is one common myth. Please, do some research. And like the other person said, it only takes about 10 minutes of sunlight to get your dose of Vitamin D.

Browned skin will not help protect you against damage from the sun, browned skin IS damage from the sun. A tan is sun damage. Come on people, we learn this stuff when we're like 8.. Be sun smart! Which DOES include not going in tanning beds because tanning beds do in fact highly increase a persons chances of skin cancer.

I am with Reki! That super sucks that the tanning salon didn't give you any advice or assistance at all and that your GF didn't let you in on at least a little before you went in. Tanning beds are gross so I would not advise going back if I were you though. Not only is it actually worse than UV rays from the sun, there was a local tanning salon that was in the news for people catching ringworm from the beds. Not worth it! FYL!
