Do you have dimples on your lower back? If so then you really should know what it means
WOMEN are known to be body-conscious, picking out individual marks and hating the quirky differences that make you, well, you.
But it turns out there is some good news for women with dimples on their lower back.
The little indents that sit just above the buttocks, commonly known as Dimples of Venus, are indicators of good health and a screaming sex-life.
They allegedly make it easier for women to reach orgasm because the dimples facilitate good circulation and located around the pelvic area, climaxing becomes easier.
As a result, your body is a healthy one.
These indentations are created by a short ligament stretching between the posterior superior iliac spine and the skin.
Despite the old catch phrase ‘variety is the spice of life’ there are some body shapes that seem to get swooned over more than others.
And a recent study revealed what men and women visualise as the 'perfect' female body.

The Today Show asked graphic designer Nickolay Lamm to create images of the most desirable female body type based on findings from previous research.
He then created a picture of the 'average' lady to stand alongside the dream-boat.
The image on the left shows the ideal shape, according to men and women who took part in the study.
The fantasy woman had a slim hourglass figure with large breasts and a BMI that was in the underweight section of the normal range.
Whereas the woman on the right had a more pear-shaped physique with a smaller chest and bigger hips.
Surprisingly, more women preferred to have bigger boobs than men.
Researcher Martin Tovee said: "We were a bit surprised.
"It is possible that the female participants were exaggerating a feature they felt was particularly important."
Both men and women also picked the woman with the slimmer figure as ideal.
Nickolay said: "Even though we are aware of ideal bodies, it's not like we reject people if they don't have perfect bodies.
”We decide our life partners on many factors (personality, character, etc).
"Whether or not someone is an ideal body type is not that important at
the end of the day."
Experts previously claimed that people base their body preferences on what
looks healthy as a subconcious pre-thought to reproduction.
Kerri Johnson, associate professor at UCLA, explained: "Our mental representation of the average woman is more extreme than anything you will
see in Vogue.
"And this happens by age five.
"At some point you'd think that a very small waist-to-hip ratio would be
seen as unnatural and unattractive, but we have not hit that lower boundary.
"In fact, people tell us they look natural and very attractive even when
shaped like Barbie."
