LOL! I'm not a guy so I don't have any advice as far as protecting the family jewels goes, but it would make sense to rise a little, lean forward. Like a jockey, except you don't need to rise that far off the horse.

For the first few times you ride, you will mostly likely be walking the horse. You don't want to really get into galloping or running the horse until you get to know the horse and a little more experience under your belt.
