So, I have like these two dimples on my lower back. They’re not very prominent, but they are visible in the mirror (I swear I’m not admiring my own butt 😭).
After a bit of googling, I found an article on Wikipedia, and they seem to be called “dimples of Venus”?

Apparently, anyone can have them, but they’re more common in women. Also, they’re supposedly seen as a mark of beauty? That’s honestly really affirming 😊

I have to say tho, despite my lower back shape being absolute trash and not feminine in the slightest, these are kinda cute.

CW: NSFW

I guess this is what my boyfriend sees when he takes me from behind 😂
This is arrogant, but I kinda get him drooling over me now.

So…do any of you girls have them too? They might be hard to see, but I can feel them with my hand and also a flashlight makes them much easier to see. Let me know, I’m actually curious about this.

    My wife has always had them, i think she refers to them as venus dimples. I never did, but now that hrt is doing its thing, I’ve got some very faint ones. Only reason I noticed them is because I spend so much time looking at my own butt, which, I’m supremely thankful for, has always been asstounding, and it’s only getting better! When I started wearing leggings, cis women all around me were getting mad 😆

      That’s nice! I’m really happy for you, lol

      It’s good to be proud of your own butt 🤣

      Jealous of your legging-wearing tho. I couldn’t, not until I’m post-op at least. Gives me so much dysphoria 😔

        Learning to tuck was huge for being comfortable in leggings. I don’t really wear loose bottoms unless it’s a skirt anymore, so I’ll usually tucked unless I have a long top on that covers my groin

          I’ll be real honest…I don’t tuck and I’m not really interested in learning.

          I don’t touch it unless I have to. I prefer not to even think about it. I know that doesn’t make sense, since tucking is meant to minimize it, but I just really don’t want to even acknowledge it…

            It’s not difficult once you get used to the process and how it feels. I tuck pretty much every waking second as I have really bad bottom dysphoria. I learned from a wikihow lol and my tip is to wear two pairs of snug panties with a sturdy elastic waistband. I never use tape or a gaff and I am perfectly fine going out in leggings or booty shorts.

            Quick addition: outside of the times when I use the bathroom and have to retuck, I can mostly forget that it’s there. If I’m not tucked, I am hyperaware that it exists all the time.
