Motivations Among Sexual‐Minority Men for Starting and Stopping Indoor Tanning

Abstract

Sexual‐minority men (SMM, including men who identify as homosexual, gay, bisexual or other) are more likely than heterosexual men to have had skin cancer and to have tanned indoors.¹ While motivations for tanning have been explored for young women, limited research has examined the motivations for SMM to stop indoor tanning. Given the increasing evidence that tanning itself may even be classifiable as addictive behaviour, understanding the motivations for tanning in this high risk population is pressing.
