A scene (often before or after sex) where the heroine asks the hero how he got the various scars on his body. This gives him a chance to reveal his badass nature or Mysterious Past without appearing boastful to the audience. If this scene happens before the two become lovers, it's a good opportunity for Fanservice and Unresolved Sexual Tension as she studies his body closely. Tends not to be gender-reversed as Beauty Is Never Tarnished. When women do have scars it's meant to hint at a Dark and Troubled Past, which they are often unwilling to talk about. But there are exceptions, as seen below. Can combine with acquiring new scars, in the After-Action Patch-Up. See also Dented Iron, Good Scars, Evil Scars, Rugged Scar, Scars are Forever, and Covered with Scars. Related to Every Scar Has a Story. |

Cowboy Bebop (2021): In "Darkside Tango", Spike Spiegel expresses doubt that Faye Valentine is a proper Bounty Hunter, so the two start showing off their scars as a mutual Badass Boast. It's not played for sexual tension, unless it's the belligerent kind. | |

Subverted in Death Race 2000. Frankenstein's navigator gets him to take off his Darth Vader-esque gear to show his racing injuries and rebuilt cyborg body, all described in detail by the government Propaganda Machine. In fact, his outfit just covers for the fact that he doesn't have any scars, as he's a Legacy Character raised and trained by the government for the Transcontinental Road Race, each one replaced when the last is killed or incapacitated. | |

Arrow: In "Honor Thy Father", Thea Queen walks in on her brother Oliver changing his shirt and is shocked at the extensive burns and scars on his body, and gets angry when he refuses to talk about how he got them. In "Damaged", Oliver reveals that he was tortured on the island he was marooned on. His estranged ex-fiancé Laurel Lance insists on seeing the scars, leading to The Big Damn Kiss before Laurel comes to her senses and rushes from the room. In "Time of Death", Oliver, John Diggle, and Sara Lance are all sparring and end up sharing the origins of their various scars (IED, grenade, knives, bullets, etc.) Their IT specialist Felicity Smoak feels somewhat left out as the only scar she can boast of is from getting her wisdom teeth removed (three stitches!). She's quite happy when she later takes a bullet for Sara, giving her a genuine badass scar. |

It's not after sex because they're not yet married and Taysan society doesn't countenance premaritals, but Jay shows off as many of his scars as are decently visible to Ashlenn in the third Spaceforce (2012) book.

Parodied in an early scene in From Russia with Love, which has Bond's girlfriend of the time (who never appeared again) jokingly ask him if he got a scar on his left side from another jealous woman. He quips that she's right and that he's never said no to one since. (The scar in question actually resulted from a fall during the Air-Vent Passageway scene in Dr. No, when he gashed himself on the join between two sections of conduit.) | |

The Dresden Files has several of these between the titular character and a lover. The scene in the laundry room between Harry and Anastasia Luccio before their de facto Relationship Upgrade in Small Favor. And again when dressing up for a fancy party in Skin Game, this time with Hannah Ascher, a rogue pyromancer and a temporary partner in crime, doing the survey. Unlike the last time, Harry chose to stay strictly business. Even the sex-crazy Winter Knight Mantle had to thank him later though, as it turned out that Ascher played host to Harry's old "friend", Fallen angel Lasciel the Temptress. |

Altered Carbon. A sci-fi variation occurs when Ortega and Kovacs do the pre-sex version during an After-Action Patch-Up, only it's not his body so she has to tell him where he got the scars from in the first place. At the start of Season 2, Kovacs is sleeved into a new body only to be stabbed by Quellcrist Falconer. When they make love several episodes later, she touches the scar she inflicted on him. |

Berserk: A rare gender-flipped example when Guts inspects Casca's arrow-wound scars right before they make love since Casca is just as much as a badass fighter as he who has earned her fair amount of scars from battle. She is at first embarrassed by them... but that doesn't stop Guts from finding her totally attractive. Casca does this to Guts too, as she recants about all of the scars that he got while trying to protect her from General Adon and his troops. In one extremely sexy moment, she licks one of the wounds that she recently gave him, and says that she someday wants a scar on her body given to her by Guts. Hmmm... |

In Logy's story in Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky, Escha accidentally walks in on Logy as he's cleaning the atelier and sees that he has a large scar on his chest. He explains that it's due to a past accident, though she doesn't get much more out of him than that. Seeing the scene, which is pretty much automatic, earns the player the "Scars of the Past" Trophy. | |

Daredevil (2015): In "Semper Fidelis", Matt Murdock's former girlfriend Elektra checks out the scars he acquired during last season's events, and he examines some of her new ones as well. As Matt is involved with Karen Page at the time, this UST-laden scene is not a good sign. In "Reunion", while hiding from Agent Poindexter in the church crypt, Matt exchanges his bloodstained shirt for a new one and Karen's reaction is a shocked "Jesus, Matt..." at the sight of all the fresh scars on his chest from his fight with Poindexter. |

The volume of The Boys that contain the flashbacks depicting Butcher's Start of Darkness shows that the first time he had sex with his future wife she noticed the scar he got from being shot in The Falklands War. She doesn't want to hear the story behind it, however, and it's not necessary for the audience since Butcher had already recounted it earlier. On another occasion as he's falling asleep she traces her fingers over several other scars and says to herself that Butcher's strength and rage both desperately need to be tempered. | |

The Executioner: In "Panic in Philly", the daughter of a Mafia boss fires at Mack Bolan with a shotgun, but the choke setting and pellet size are wrong and the pellets only sting him. Later when Bolan infiltrates their family by posing as a Black Ace, she sees the welts on his body during this trope and realizes who he really is. In the Able Team spin-off, government 'specialist' Carl Lyons is asked post-coitus by DEA agent Flor Trujillo how he got his various scars, including a crescent scar on his elbow caused by a rear-view mirror hurled at him by the impact of a machine-gun bullet. He says they're from breaking up family fights when he was a cop, and the elbow one was from an attack-trained clam on the beach. Flor doesn't believe him. |

Game of Thrones: Daenerys dismisses the assertion that Jon Snow was brought back from the dead after taking a knife in the heart. She realizes otherwise when his clothes are removed to treat his injuries and she sees several old scars, including one directly over his heart. It's about this time that they fall in love too, so there's also the Ship Tease element. When Arya Stark strips off to have sex with Gendry, we see his surprised look at the scars on her body that she's picked up over the past few years. |

Person of Interest: While hiding from an HR manhunt in "The Crossing", John Reese and Joss Carter show each other the injuries they got during the War on Terror. This leads to Reese showing the bullet he was intending to kill himself with before meeting Carter in the pilot episode, which leads to The Big Damn Kiss. The post-coital version happens in "6,741". Root and Sameen Shaw have sex after the latter escapes from nine months of torture by Samaritan operatives. When Root starts with this trope, Shaw has to inform her the scars are from her previous work as a government assassin, whereas Samaritan's torture was more psychological. |

Katawa Shoujo: In Lilly's first sex scene, despite being blind, she manages to feel Hisao's scars from his heart surgery. She becomes uneasy over whether they should keep going, but Hisao suggests that it should be okay for him. In Hanako's route, Hisao's decision to show her his scars was perhaps the definitive turning point in their relationship, partly due to the insecurity Hanako has about her own much more visible scars. Hanako... sorta returns the favor later right before her own sex scene, stripping down to her panties and pantyhose and letting Hisao see her body clearly. Subverted in one of the sex scenes with Rin, more exactly the second one. According to Hisao's narration (the player doesn't get to see it), the born-without-arms Rin used her foot to touch his chest... but when she lightly touched the scar on his chest, he covered it with his hands almost by reflex and didn't let her touch it directly. |

In Beauty and the Beast (1987), a past love notices the scar behind Catherine's ear. However, she only tells him "It's a long story" when he asks how she got it. | |

Since Geralt of The Witcher is in a job that constantly makes all kinds of nasties mistake him for a chew toy, and he also Really Gets Around, this tends to happen at least once a book. | |

The Punisher (2017): In "Cold Steel", Dinah Madani does this after sex with Billy Russo. She spots a bruise that he claims is a paintball bruise from a training exercise (actually it's from when the Punisher shot Russo while he was wearing a bulletproof vest) and compares it to an actual bullet wound on his body. Dinah expects a suitably badass (and somewhat exaggerated) war story about an injury to his shoulder, but Russo reveals that's from when his arm was broken by a pedophile while he was in a group home. Dinah jokes that at least his handsome face wasn't damaged. In "One Bad Day", Russo (his face now extensively scarred) has rough sex with his therapist Krista Dumont, who turns out to have her own scars and even encourages Russo to squeeze them during sex to inflict pain on her. After sex, she tells Russo to just go ahead and ask how she got them because everyone does eventually (though it's a while before she reveals the full story). At the start of Season 2, The Bartender of a roadhouse invites Frank Castle back to her place and their Sex Montage is intercut with them Talking in Bed. |

In the Law & Order: UK story "Deck the Halls," Alesha Philips initiates sex with Matt Devlin this way, trailing her fingers, then her mouth across the scars left from his shooting (he survives in this universe). | |
