      Welp…I went down an NSFW image search rabbit hole and, although far from being conclusive, my opinion is that yes, the penises are pretty much the same on identical siblings (saw a few triplets).

      Classic nature versus nurture debate. Assuming identical male twins, anyway. Anything else and the answer is far more likely to be “no”. Bob probably has a bigger D than his twin sister Sally. Probably.

      But once you narrow it down, well, they really ought to be the same unless something significant happened to one and not the other. Note that the significance of that thing might not at first appear to be significant, however.

      e.g. Maybe one time and only one time, Mom or Dad fed one of them twice by accident when the twins were infants and then had to the feed the hungry one “again” when he wouldn’t stop crying (if they realised the error or not).

      That one extra bottle of milk with no other differences might have made for a lifetime of difference between the two. And you still can’t be sure which one would end up better endowed. Maybe something latent in the twins’ genes would gives a hungry baby the advantage later in life, so to speak.

      ETA: If this sort of thing is your cup of tea, you might find pictures out there on the internet. If it isn’t, you might want to perform the same experiment using women’s attributes instead. I understand certain forms of twin “art” are quite popular.

      I can actually answer this one. I’m a fraternal twin. I can confidently say that my dick is bigger than my twin brother’s. As for how I know that… As kids we had no issues bathing together… And later in life we just never cared about either being nude. Nothing sexual just a straight up lack of feelings one way or the other.

      Also I lived with him and his gf for a bit and she accidentally walked in on me as I was getting out of the shower and her exact words were “I hooked up with the wrong twin”… Unfortunately for her I’m gay.

    Hermione is mad at him. Maybe since she’s with Ron, she suppresses all her naughty thoughts about Fred and George.

    Do twins look the same naked? Do siblings? Do sisters have the same boobs? Do brothers have the same balls?

    Sometimes. Once out of the hatch, environmental factors change each individual potentially in a different way. So while the template might be the same at start, further mutations can branch out in other aspects.

        More testosterone during the growth phase. So in theory, if one is leading a life that produces more or less testosterone, then they could be different.

        Good question. For serious answers, try asking here https://lemmy.world/c/askscience or other similar communities.

        On my part, I can vaguely extract some theories from memory.

        One suggests some kind of insufficiency or excess during the growth phase can result in abnormal size of one or more organs, whether larger or smaller and usually accompanied by circulatory problems.

        Another suggests it a remnant of evolution, whether specific to a type of environment or early societal development.

        Of course, there’s also the chemical imbalance issue caused by unchecked industrial exploitation and pollution that causes the entire biological chain to mutate uncontrollably.

        But at their base, it’s usually hormones that are directed in some way by something either to grow or to stunt.

        Estrogen/testosterone balance probably. There are certain dietary factors that can change this. Tofu for instance has a chemical pretty analogous to estrogen, hence the term “soy boy”

          Plant estrogens, especially in the instance of soy, have been overwhelmingly shown to have no effects on our endocrine system. If growing breasts were as easy as eating tofu, a lot of transfem people would’ve been doing that over prescription meds

    The eyebrows are doing the heavy lifting in the comic. I would love to live in a world of such exaggerated caterpillars.
