Any non acidental groin strikes for the benefit of a fighter that is tired and is just looking for a little referee break or is plain hurt and need a break from the strikes?

The first rule of the Art of Dundasso is that you don't talk about the Art of Dundasso.
 
Kongo.

Also I think Matt Hughes is the only fighter I've ever seen win a fight after taking a legit shot in the yams. I think the right thing to do is let the other fighter hit you in the balls then you both get 5 minutes to recover. Then its even again.

Is that really worse than pretending you took a bad groin strike to get a rest? There are a lot more examples of that.

Pretty obvious case on Saturday in Fili-Bermudez. Bermudez was coming on in the 3rd, looking to take Fili out, when he hit him just below the belt line with a weak knee. Fili played it up for about 3 minutes, and was clearly just recovering. It turned out to be enough to win a terrible decision. One of the worst "victories" you'll ever see imo.

Mighty Mouse plowed on through after being nut-struck by Dodson in their second fight, and won. He even shooed the ref away when he tried to halt the fighting to give recovery time. Demetrious certainly thought Dodson had done it on purpose to get some rest, and wasn't about to let that happen.

Clearly the benefit of having "mouse" sized balls...
 
This looks pretty intentional.
