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.

    I think I’ve always had them? Though I didn’t really process them until more recently. I really like them. I’ve thought about getting dermal stud piercings in them. Something like this

      Omg that would be so cool/hot tho!

      I’ll have to ask my bf what he prefers 🤭

      Reminds me a tiny bit of my piercings pre-HRT. I had both nipples pierced, but unfortunately had to remove them due to…well, growing breasts 😆

          Yes. I got them as a gift from our bf for our anniversary, if you mean having the piercings.

          If you mean having to remove them…it’s definitely a bad idea to keep them on E. Your breasts are growing, the tissue is changing…it’s not good to have a barbell through your nipples at that time 😆

          I’ve heard that it’s recommended to wait at least year or two years after starting HRT before getting them pierced again.

          I will NOT be doing that, since the first time I almost fainted because of the pain and I literally cannot imagine going through that with nipples as sensitive as these…

      True, butt…doesn’t that make me like, weirder than I already am?
      I have enough weirdness to go around. Take some from me, please 😭

      Also, I have a bf. Checking me out is his job. He’s totally slacking these past couple of days…

        You worked hard for it. Also it’s kind to help your bf when they are falling behind. If you both check it out you can get caught up in no time.

          Lol, that cracked me up 🤣

          You worked hard for it

          I really didn’t though…
          I barely even exercise. I used to, years ago, but now I just sit around…
          Seeing my mother yesterday tho, I think that it might be partly genetics 😆. It should get even better with more time on E

    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.

      Neat! I think HRT, changing the fat distribution on your body, might make them more prominent for you? Maybe, I’m not really sure…

      Also, I think nature knew what it was doing giving you Venus dimples lol
