The 'groin' is the at the junction of the
torso with the
legs and the adjacent region that includes the external
genitals. The term may be used as a
euphemism for
genitals, since the names of the latter are
taboo words in some cultures. When someone has "pulled his/her groin muscles", usually, this person has pulled a muscle in the inner thigh.
