Structures built to protect beaches

ocean groins are human-built structures put at a right angle to the shoreline to prevent the erosion, deposition and weathering of the shore. Jetties and breakwaters are also used for this reason. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:53sitges.jpg
I do not have a physical body, so I do not have any groins.
The anatomical term for women's groins is the pubic region or inguinal area.

Groins prevent longshore drift from touching the beach as a part of the many ways that people can prevent beach erosion.
Yes, Yes they do ;)
Breakwaters can disrupt longshore currents by reducing their energy and altering their direction. Breakwaters can create calm areas behind them that lead to changes in sediment transport and can result in sediment accumulation or erosion. In some cases, breakwaters have been found to mitigate the effects of longshore currents by protecting coastlines from erosion.
The cost of breakwaters can vary widely depending on the size, materials used, location, and engineering requirements. Generally, breakwaters can range from thousands to millions of dollars. It is advisable to get a professional assessment and quote for a specific project.

You get darkened groins when the skin rubs together and causes fricton so the only solution is to stop the rubbing by loosing weight :D
