Why do people do it? Is it just to get a deeper skin tone or just because it feels good if you live in a very cold country to sit in the broiling sun being slowly cooked like a turkey. Or is it for both reasons? How many people here on CS do it?daisy

I do it because it is like CS and other forms of meeting 'the ladies' it is where they hang out. Getting the tan is a sideshow.

I do it for the color to my skin. I'm naturally very pale and I like to have at least a bit of a tan, although I don't overdo it. When I wear summery skirts and dresses, it's nice to have some color on my legs and not feel like I need stockings to hide the paleness.

I do it for colour as living in a cold country, with lots of snow, the warmth of the sun makes me feel better and the colour of course makes me look healthy. I do always use sunscreen and my recent trip to the sunshine state, I was sunning myself there, for 1-2 hours per day, in one hour incremental periods. An hour in the morning and one in the evening...

I do it after being in the ocean for a while. Ilike the way the sun feels on my skin. I use a lot of block, and wear expensive shades to protect my diabetic eyes. Plus it puts me to sleep. And I can watch the men go by, without them knowing it.

I did it when I was younger, for both reasons. Now my tan comes from working outside in my garden and taking care of the lawn, so it's gradual and I have a soft tan by the end of summer. I know the hazards of sunbathing now, but would lay out if I went swimming, to dry off.

With me its the opposite, when you live on a tropical island all the time, you are well aware of the sun and that sun can get bitching hot, so when I go to the beach (except when I am in the water )I seek shade.

I choose not to and I live by the beach in Spain. I get just as brown walking the dog,and it's safer. So many people here have what you have just described.Some are lucky but some develop full blown skin cancer. I was told that at least 25% of the people here have had some sort of cancer from the sun.Is it worth it just to glow! J.M.O.
