The skin around a dogs nose is thinner than the skin around a persons nose. The scent can go into the dogs nose so that they can understand what they are smelling just like a human can, but the scent can also go through the thin skin around their nose so that they can have two times as much of the scent in their nose which makes it easier for them to identify scents that are so similar or so faint that the human nose cant detect it.

Why does your dog like to smell your groin?

It is a natural dog behavior to smell "that area" on other dogs and people, because this is how dogs gain information about the person/dog that they're smelling. Much like people get to know other people by what their faces look like, dogs tell people (and other dogs) apart by their smell, and the part of the body where that individual smell is strongest is, well, the groin/rear. So, it is just how the dog tells you apart from other people.
