They’re real, totally normal, and not a medical problem. Here’s what they actually mean:
🌙 What Those Two Holes on a Woman’s Lower Back Really Are
✔️ 1. They’re Anatomical Features Called “Venus Dimples”
The dimples form where:
-
The pelvis meets the spine,
-
Specifically near the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS).
They appear as two symmetrical indentations right above the buttocks.
These dimples are genetic — you’re either born with the bone structure and connective tissue that creates the indentation… or you’re not.
✔️ 2. They’re Associated With Low Body Fat + Specific Bone Structure
Venus dimples are easier to see when:
-
A person naturally has lower body fat in that area,
-
The pelvis has a particular shape/angle,
-
The skin is tightly connected to underlying ligaments.
They have nothing to do with fitness level, though being lean can make them more visible.
✔️ 3. They’re Completely Harmless
They don’t indicate:
-
a health problem
-
a deficiency
-
a disorder
-
any medical issue
It’s just something some people have—like dimples in the cheeks.
✔️ 4. Some Believe They’re Linked to Better Circulation or Enjoyment
There’s a popular myth that Venus dimples are associated with:
-
good pelvic blood flow
-
higher sensitivity or better sexual pleasure
This isn’t scientifically proven, but it’s a widespread cultural belief.
What is true: they’re simply considered an attractive anatomic trait in many cultures.
✔️ 5. Can You “Create” Venus Dimples?
Not really — you can’t exercise your way into having them.
But you can make existing dimples more noticeable if you already have the anatomy by:
-
Reducing lower back/belly fat
-
Strengthening the lower back and core muscles
If the bone structure isn’t there, the dimples will never form.
🔍 So What Do They Mean?
In short:
They mean nothing medically, but they’re a genetic trait tied to pelvic anatomy and sometimes lower body fat. They’re harmless and completely normal.
