    Theoretically yes, they are supposed to be as uniquely shaped in finer details as the finger print on each of your fingertips, because of the nature of the ontological process in which they were formed when you were a developing fetus.

    Well theoretically anyway, I’m not sure if there’s any study that’s already done where someone actually tried to verify if that’s actually true in reality. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if it is true though.

      I know it’s true of both ears and anuses, but I haven’t seen any studies about genitals. At a guess I’d think they’re too flippy-floppy for you to be able to reliably identify enough landmarks to use as unique identifiers.
