balls almost got squashed on snatch/clean attempt

i started doing some snatch/ cleans from the ground, real light.  it was tough, clipped my knee cap a few times.  then one of the times, the bar went off my balls and i just dropped the weight in mid air. 

i can't seem to let it go off the hip crease, because something seems to get in the way, honestly.  now i am paranoid about doing a high power clean or snatch.

  This is indeed very odd, most males hit themselves in the penis when attempting the olympic lifts, never ever ever heard of the nuts getting hit.  Odd how that happened to only you bro.

J-DUB, what a pleasant surprise!

Have you improved in the heavy unracks and Avishek drops? You were on such an ascending path back in the day with these exercises!
