If someone is hit in the shin, knee, elbow they just grab that body part. When a man is hit in the groin a lot of times they fall to their knees and grab it. What is the reason a man's body is so affected by this?

It's just a sensitive area

You don't actually "feel" pain in your body. Pain is something that your mind makes up to let you know that you have just been hurt. Amputees have complained about feeling pain in their hands or feet, even though these limbs had been removed by surgery. Their brains were mixing signals and were confused as to where the pain was actually coming from.
You have more nerve endings in you penis than you probably have in any other comparable part of your body. When the brain is flooded with so many pain signals at once, perhaps it gets confused and mixes signals since it is not really sure what to make of so many pain signals coming in all at once.

It seems to hurt in the stomach area probably as a remnant of where it began as a fetus. It may be like the heart that is often felt in the shoulder. If hit hard enough, it will make you double over and gasp for breath. They are pretty valuable in an evolutionary sense, of course, so we have evolved a lot of pain to protect them.
