It's difficult to properly install a 6-point as most seats are engineered for 5-points. In some cases it's more appropriate to install the sub-belts to the lap belt mounting points and sit on them in the seat. You can verify this through the manufacturers installations manuals, e.g. Schroth. Manufacturers instructions and a compentant installation shop are necessary here.
In an improper setup I'd rather 1 strap hit my nuts than 2 (at least they can escape!!!). In a proper setup, neither 5-point or 6-point should hit your nuts.
