absolutely yes, I love admiring scars on a partner’s body and I love when a partner expresses interest in my own scars + generally imo there’s something so intimate about being able to bond with someone around medical stuff. I’ve been chronically ill since childhood and it’s really important to me that people I date be willing to learn about that area of my life and support me around it rather than treating it like something external to our relationship
it can be frustratingly difficult to find people you wanna date who intuitively understand the importance of showing an investment in your experiences with the medical system and whatnot, so personally I tend to prefer dating other people who are chronically ill / disabled or who at least already demonstrate an interest in disability justice politics
