Its not just a grab, its a squeeze and twist or grab and rip or some variation thereof.

If you get hit there and you're full of adrenalin, you might not feel as much pain but any other motions will agonize you in an unmercifull way.

The purpose of such techniques is to cause enough pain to distract your opponent. If he is 100+ pounds heavier, equivallently stronger and is mounting you, groin manipulation might be your only hope of escape.

I have used my gi to perform a wrist lock on a guy 80-90 lbs heavier who had a rear mount and was attempting to choke me with my own gi. The wrist lock was enough to create space, so that I could roll forward and improve position.
