The groin is the crease at the junction of the torso with the legs and the adjacent region that includes the external genitals. The term may be used as an euphemism for genitals, since the names of the latter are taboo words in some cultures.The term may also be used to describe a coastal engineering structure designed to prevent beach erosion and build the beach outward by slowing longshore sediment transport. This is sometimes confused with a jetty, which is instead for protecting harbors, channels, or piers (see groyne).

See also groin attack.
