I know of at least two examples of (fictional) disasters causing mass sterility in men and it leading to problems for repopulating the world. P.D. James's Children of Men (the novel) and Edward P. Hughes Masters of the Fist. In James's novel, all men become sterile and all frozen sperm die and children stop being born.And the world goes more than a little nuts. In Hughes' novel (which is more a collection of linked short stories), only one man in a small English is still able to father children and he and the village elders come up with a scheme to allow him to father children without letting the whole village know that all men are sterile.
And, while it's more a case of gendercide, there's also Y The Last Man, a graphic novel series about, well, the last man on Earth.
