OUCH...
Maybe its just me, but if its an osae or pinning technique, first I'm kneeling, then kind of sliding into the mat. So my pelvis never really 'hits' the mat, I kind of merge with the mat. Even on vigourous techniques.

Then too, I wear briefs. I like no 'slangin in the pouch'...if you know what I mean...

There are those who go commando...personally, I don't recommend it.
