Seems to be real (though not limited to Asia):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penis_panic
"Penis panics in southeast Asia have become known under the term "Koro" (which means "head of the turtle" in Malay). Some anthropologists have referred to Koro as a culture-bound syndrome, but it is phenomenologically related, if not identical, to penis panics in various cultures. ... In Chinese, the term used for the condition is the Chinese term Shook yang (suo yang, ??). Outbreaks of Koro in China were reported in 1948, 1955, 1966, 1974 and 1984/85"
