I understand the strong need for ground techniques in compitition and even in a street fight to a certain degree. But in a street fight where anything goes, if you take someone to the ground and clinch there body to yours, don't you stand a good chance of them either:
1: grabbing for your nuts
2: trying to jam a finger or thumb in your eye socket
3: you have there head pressed against your body and they decide they are hungry and just take a chunck out of wherever there mouth is.
4: any other dirty thing they can do.

I know this sounds like a dirty fighter, but when your fighting on the streets its all about servival and do what you have to. Is this ever a concern with a ground technician or is this something that is expected and thought out?
