Bizarre? It happened to hundreds of men in Singapore in 1967.
Intrigued that the "strange, crazy thing happened in a country of intelligent, hard-working people", US psychiatrist Scott Mendelson wrote about the Koro epidemic in a book, The Great Singapore Penis Panic And The Future Of American Mass Hysteria.
Koro attracted attention after a newspaper reported that some people developed the disease from eating pork from pigs inoculated with anti-swine fever vaccine.
The book, published last year, is one of seven shortlisted for the Diagram Prize for Oddest Book Title of the Year. Another is Cooking With Poo.
