Why Thai women cut off their husbands' penises
About once per decade, the medical profession takes a careful look back at Thailand's plethora of penile amputations. The first great reckoning appeared in a 1983 issue of the American Journal of Surgery. Surgical Management of an Epidemic of Penile Amputations in Siam, by Kasian Bhanganada and four fellow physicians at Siriraj Hospital in Bangkok, introduces the subject: "It became fashionable in the decade after 1970 for the humiliated Thai wife to wait until her [philandering] husband fell asleep so that she could quickly sever his penis with a kitchen knife. A traditional Thai home is elevated on pilings and the windows are open to allow for ventilation. The area under the house is the home of the family pigs, chickens, and ducks. Thus, it is quite usual that an amputated penis is tossed out of an open window, where it may be captured by a duck."
The report explains, for readers in other countries: "The Thai saying, 'I better get home or the ducks will have something to eat,' is therefore a common joke and immediately understood at all levels of society".
The bulk of the paper reports how the doctors and their colleagues learned, over the course of attempting 18 reimplantations, how to improve the necessary surgical techniques. Unambiguous photographs supplement the text.
"Interestingly", the physicians remark at the very end, "none of our patients filed a criminal complaint against their attackers."
An article called Factors Associated with Penile Amputation in Thailand, published in 1998 in the journal NursingConnections, explores the reasons behind that. Gregory Bechtel and Cecilia Tiller, from the Medical College of Georgia (in Atlanta), gathered data from three couples who had been part of the epidemic. The couples, by then divorced, discussed their experience calmly. Bechtel and Tiller report that in each case, three things had happened during the week prior to dismemberment: (1) a financial crisis; (2) "ingestion of drugs or alcohol by the husband immediately prior to the event; and (3) public humiliation of the wife owing to the presence of a second 'wife' or concubine".
In 2008, the Journal of Urology carried a retrospective by Drs Genoa Ferguson and Steven Brandes of the Washington University in St Louis, called The Epidemic of Penile Amputation in Thailand in the 1970s. Ferguson and Brandes conclude that: "Women publicly encouraging and inciting other scorned women to commit this act worsened the epidemic. The vast majority of worldwide reports of penile replantation, to this day, are a result of what became a trendy form of retribution in a country in which fidelity is a strongly appreciated value."

Re: Is this a town that favors penis?
Used to ski at Whakapapa (pronounced Fu kah pa pa), surf at Waipu, stop in at Waikikamukau however, I never got to Whakahoro (heard it's nice but lots of flies).
Then there's Burnt Penis which is nowhere near Tarawera, which is Maori for Burnt Vagina. The former is named after a chief who slept too close to the fire. Not sure how he put it out or soothed the pain, but surely the lore has been fabricated over the generations. I was disappointed after climbing the Mt Cook trail only to arrive in deserted Hooker Valley, and Shag Point wasn't any better. Sucking in the salt-laden sea air at Cape Fowlwind left a bitter taste in my mouth so I chose not to drink the water in Dog Shit River.
There is also a town claiming the longest name with 85 letters: Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimangahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu, which has many abbreviations (why is that word so long) like Tawhakamatepikahor (Ta fuk a mate pika hor).
