Wolph, that kind of IS my point. When you are not exposed to genitalia 24/7, like you would a human face, you only see the largest of differences. If everyone's face were covered up all the time, would you still be able to distinguish one person's face from another? We understand very subtle facial expressions instantly, and guage feeling through them. These are minute movements in only a couple muscles in the face. I am trying to get across that if we paid another part of our bodies the same amount of attention, we would get a similar recognition.

Skier, as noted, we have hard-wired brain subsystems whose job is to analyze, recognize, and interprit faces.
Maybe you could coopt it for another part of the body, but quite possibly (I'd even say probably) not.
