In seriousness, for white/Caucasian individuals the amount of time they need to be in the sun a day is 15 minutes - as this is the time the body produces its minimum requirement of vitamin D as to not develop a deficiency. Anymore time you are increasing the risk of sunburn and skin cancer(s). The positives of being so however are limited depending on your own opinion - social positives can occur through sunbathing via the production of a tan on fairer skinned individuals; if the individuals in question prefer a tanned skin. However, at the end of the day you should ask yourself, are the possible benefits worth the evident risks (i.e. skin cancer development)?
