A lot of websites say that the phrase "Veni, Vidi, and Vici" in total has a sexual connotation; is that true?
If so is there a slight variation/translation for it that would make it have a serious or masculine connotation?

What websites? I've never heard of such connotations regarding Veni, Vidi, Vici.
No, that's not right. Latin (active) verbs don't consider the speaker's sex (& this is to ignore the so-called 'deponent verbs). Those forms would be the same regardless of who said them (if that's what you mean).
A lot of people are saying that it means a guy "came" as in went to a public place, "saw" noticed a female that he finds attractive, and "conquered" as in he seduced her and took her home for the night.
Various translation websites that offer scenarios in addition to definition as well as Urban dictionary
Julius Caesar used the phrase in a letter to the Roman Senate around 47 BC after he had achieved a quick victory in his short war against Pharnaces II of Pontus at the Battle of Zela.
The phrase (originally) has nothing to do with anything sexual.

Filthy minds can and frequently do find a sexual reference in almost any text (and not only texts but virtually any mode of expression), regardless of how it was originally meant. Listen to Issacus and pay no attention to the perverts.
