If you have two small holes (dimples) on your lower back, it usually means you have what are called “Dimples of Venus.”
Here’s the full, clear explanation 👇
What Those Two Holes in Your Lower Back Mean
They’re called Dimples of Venus
- Located symmetrically on the lower back, just above the buttocks
- Named after Venus, the Roman goddess of beauty
- Considered a natural anatomical feature, not a flaw or condition
Men can have them too—in men they’re sometimes called Dimples of Apollo.
Why Do They Appear?
It’s mostly genetics
- Caused by short ligaments connecting skin to the pelvic bone
- There’s no muscle or fat in that exact spot, so the skin dips inward
- You’re either born with them or you’re not
They’re not created by exercise, weight loss, or posture—though changes in body fat can make them more or less visible.
What Do They Indicate About Health?
Nothing negative.
Dimples of Venus are:
- Not a medical condition
- Not linked to disease or spinal problems
- Not a sign of weakness or imbalance
In fact, they usually indicate normal bone structure and alignment in that area.
Why Are They Often Considered Attractive?
Historically and culturally, these dimples have been associated with:
- Symmetry (which the human brain reads as attractive)
- Good circulation in the pelvic region
- Body aesthetics in art and anatomy
That’s why they’ve been admired in sculptures, paintings, and fashion photography for centuries.
Common Myths (Let’s Clear These Up)
❌ They mean you’re fitter than others
❌ They indicate sexual performance
❌ They can be created with workouts
❌ Everyone can get them
✔️ Reality: they’re genetic and structural, not earned.
Can They Disappear?
- Weight gain may make them less visible
- Weight loss may make them more pronounced
- Aging skin can soften their appearance
But the underlying structure stays the same.
Bottom Line
If you have those two holes in your back:
- It means you have Dimples of Venus
- They’re normal, harmless, and genetic
- Many people simply see them as a unique physical trait

Just say the word 🙂
