How to unlock the Aww Nuts! achievement in Saints Row 2 - Definitive Guide
Aww Nuts! (Secret Achievement)
Hit 100 lifetime nut shots
For this achievement shoot any gang memeber in the nuts! (brotherhood, samedi , ronin).Can be done in story mode but if you have completed story mode and you aint got this achievement you cant go to the crib and replay a mission because for some reason it dont count as a nutshot, thats what i had trouble with.
But instead of starting a whole new story mode the achievement can be done in activities and i found the best activity to do it in is Drug Trafficking because there is always lots of gang members to kill.
Note: Does NOT work on girls
You will know if you have shot them in the nuts because they will grab their nuts and die and in the right corner of the screen it should have a star and say nut shot.
To check how many nut shots you have done go on the pause menu. info-diversions-stunts-combat tricks-nutshots.

When doing a drug trafficking activity, especially on the early levels you can wait as they send gang members to you every 30 seconds or so and pick them off one by one (their nuts I mean :P)

Oh, and if the dealer starts trying to steal your nut shot kills, try shooting at random people and cars to distract them. They will try and take them out leaving you to focus on the balls.

Play the activity FUZZ. As a cop go around shooting your own gang members in their bean bag. Works like a charm.

Nice solution, worked very well. If you have already completed the campaign Saints gang members are everywhere and they don't even shoot at you but at the cameraman instead.

Aww Nuts! (Secret Achievement)
Get 100 lifetime nutshots
For this achievement you must shoot any gang member in the groin area whilst aiming. You don't have to be in a mission for this to work and will get a star saying nutshot if you have done it successfully.
You can check the amount of nutshots you have gained by checking the combat diversion menu in the pause screen.

Note that:
Women don't count.
Civilians don't count.
Members of your own gang don't count.
Cops don't count.
Has to be done to male rival gang members to count.
Sniper rifle works great on this.

Also take note that it is much easier to make nutshots with your Pistol(s) because they dont spray rounds everywhere and you can be much more precise with your aiming.
I chose to focus on this early in the game because frankly the first missions are much less congested with enemies and allows for more aiming and less spraying in order to stay alive.
*No Women, Confirm Nut Shot with Star in upper right corner*

Get paid while you grind!
In a nutshell
If you haven't unlocked the lists and for some reason only want to unlock the list which contains the Swindler (which you'll be farming while grinding groin shots) you'll need to go directly to the Apartments Chop Shop List which is located in Sommerset/Apartments District.
As you're in Brotherhood Territory there will be some members nearby, shoot up a group and make your way directly back to the Chop list. They'll turn up in Swindlers one after another, which once the driver is dead, and I only ever saw one driver per vehicle, drive it the few remaining feet into the marker to claim your $$$ reward.
Don't forget to aim for the groin by depressing the right analogue stick.
I didn't have any problems keeping my star rating at upper 1 Star and 2 Stars. On Normal Difficulty my health got reduced by half sometimes but nothing serious.
Backstory:
After about 50 groin shots I was getting pretty bored and then I remembered I had unlocked all the Chop Shop Lists earlier with a friend.
I'd already progressed most of the way through my first gang the Ronin and farming them was erratic at best tedious at it's worst. I moved on to the Sons of Samedi which as I did not control their areas was much better however I noticed there were no Chop Shop points in their areas, but the Brotherhood has three.
Misc:
I didn't test the Chop Shop position in Charlestown/Docks and Warehouse District but I did test Sommerset/Apartments District and Coppertown/Truck Yard District which is very close to your main crib and the Red Light Crib which is unlocked once you have completed the Appointed Defender Prologue Mission.
Difficulty was set to Normal, I have no idea if higher or lower difficulties impact on this method.
I dual wielded GDHC pistols, SMG's work too but are less accurate, I experimented a little with shotguns but their shortcomings were very clear from the start. Don't bother aiming at the female Brotherhood gang members just shoot them as quickly as possible and turn their vehicle in for $$$.
All but one of the vehicles that turned up were Swindlers, the sole exception was a Legion which cannot be turned in for a reward.
Side Note:
I also saw, and jacked a couple of Bulldogs right outside this same marker and there were more that I didn't if you're having trouble finding them.

As you play through the solo/co-op game, just aim and shoot at your enemies' crotches. The foe will grab his crotch (as seen in the achievement tile) once you have successfully performed a nut shot. This counts on males only, and only if the shot is made during a mission or activity.
You can check your progress by going to the Pause Menu and selecting 'Info' > 'Diversions' > 'Stunts' > 'Combat Tricks' > click 'Nutshots'.
