To quote the author of one of my favorite books (maybe not the most relevant to most people's interests here, but I found it immensely entertaining, and it rekindled my old interest in martial arts)

Probably, there are guys out there who have basically no inborn interest in violence, just as a matter of natural psychological variation, but I think they're probably far more the exception than the rule.
There are a number of books like that. American Shaolin and Tapped Out by Matthew Polly are both entertaining reads about martial arts training. Iron and Silk by Mark Salzman is another. Zen in the Martial Arts by Joe Hyams.
I read in a book that they retract their testicles into their body, and tuck their penis into their waistband.
