To the women here:
I know the question, "Does size matter?" is a question that has been asked here before (probably) and is an age old question.
So I would like to revise it a little:
Does size REALLY matter? Or is it in the way that a man uses it?
I ask because, and I am going to be truthful here, and I am not ashamed to admit this, but I am not a very well endowed guy. Erect, I measure almost 6 inches. It's more like 5.75 inches erect. Okay, there, I said it. Like I said, I am not ashamed of my size. God made me that way for a reason.
I've been with a few women, and never had one complain, but never was really sure if they were just lying so I would not feel bad.
Answer truthfully!

If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
Don't lie to me,
Just get your things.
I've made up your mind."

Size matters to a certain extent. I've had anywhere from 3 to 14 inches. But for me, the width is much, MUCH more important than length.
And yes, the motion of the ocean matters... but to paraphrase Jeff Foxworthy... "It takes a hell of a long time to get to England in a rowboat."

No good can come from measuring a penis. It only makes the owner feel smug or inferior.
So, in the end, who is the owner of the largest penis in the world? A 2006 UK Channel 4 documentary called 'The World's Biggest Penis' solved the mystery: it appears to be the New Yorker Jonah Cardeli Falcon (born July 29, 1970). His willy is 9.5 in (24.13 cm) flaccid, 13.5 in (34.29 cm) erect!
The average human penis is 6 in (15 cm) long...
To me, it doesn't really matter the size as much as you know how to use it. I second gypsymoth's answer and agree completely.
I think the question should be, does length or width matter, now that to me seems a more definitive question.
Yes, is my honest reply, its is not a case of one size fits all, but it is finding a partner that matches in compatability.

I'm having a bit of a no frills sort of Monday. So must apologise if it was'nt sugar coated Guys.
Penis size hmmm don't really care about that what makes the difference for me is passion and heat. If I want something bigger there is always my dildo collection. I would agree thickness and hardness would be more important than length but really doesn't matter. My most memorable sexual experiences rarely had anything to do with penis size. Had a big addiction to one certain penis once and it wasn't huge or especially thick just a regular 6-1/2" to 7" BUT it was so pretty, nice and smooth with a beautiful round purple head and the person it was attached to just turned me on like crazy and that is what made the difference. The only dick I've had that you just couldn't work with was a tiny 3 incher when erect. To bad as the guy was a champion middle weight body builder and his body was just gorges BUT I think he must have been on the roids and it shrunk his member - is that even possible? I have found that sometimes a really huge cock can be a little problem if you love to be slammed hard - score guts for days! When all is said and done having a person that totally gets off on getting you off no matter in what fashion is the way to go!

Bunny Rabbits cute and fuzzy they want to love you but they have razor sharp teeth - don't piss them off! The guys attitude, technique and enthusiasm / hotness, count more than just size. I've had all lengths and widths; there is no common rule as to what's best. So long as it's hard and he can work it and stay at it for a long enough time to have a good session, then it's fine. Have discussed this many times with women. The consensus is that all our vaginas are different sizes, so the one that fits best for us is the best one.

Every once in awhile hubby wonders about the fact that he's not huge, and every single time I tell it has never, ever mattered to me. Why, exactly?
1. His voice, the man can practically make me come by just talking to me. Hearing him read some of these stories out loud is quite the treat!
2. His gentleness, he knows exactly how hard to stroke, every single damn time, he has never been rough with me, but always just right.
3. His lips, the man knows how to kiss and every single one, be it a serious tongue job or a quick peck on the lips, makes me feel like I am a goddess to him.
4. His lips and tongue, used together, I am a helpless puddle of orgasm.
5. His willingness to cuddle, before and after is also a powerful part of lovemaking. Sometimes I need lots of cuddling before because I'm wound up from a tough day, sometimes that extra attention after wipes the last bit of tension away.
Master all of those tricks, and size is not at all important. Show your lady that you're not just interested in a pump and go and she will never care about size.

Sorry to jump in on the gals answers, but for my two cents, after seeing my third child born, I realized that if I wasn't 21" long weighing 9lbs 10oz, the phrase "you're filling me up" is probably a product of porn fantasy! I'm sure there are guys that come a little closer to that size than I do, but for my purposes, attention to detail, foreplay, and "other" manipulation have always done the trick. I now believe her when she says I done good.
I'm between 5.5-6 inches (don't know why its bigger sometimes) and not thick, and I often feel inadequate and even sometimes angry I wasn't born bigger and almost feel incomplete and not masculine. When I was 19 a girl I cared dearly for got me into bed and then complained and whined that I wasn't big enough and then I had trouble staying hard and she laughed at me and 8 years later I still obsess over it and even sometimes feel very jealous of guys with large dicks. It may sound stupid, but my lack of size really does eat away at me sometimes. I have even avoided sexual contact a few times because I felt the woman was expecting or hoping I was large and I could not bare disappointing her so I just avoided sex completely in those situations. A good friend of mine is of the female gender and she once told me something like "anything under 8 inches is useless" and that scared the hell out me, my heart sank when I heard that, almost a punch in the stomach it literally made me get nausea.
Anyways, some people don't care about size but for me I feel it is one of my flaws. I wish it didn't matter but it does.
EDIT: felt a self-conscious need to clarify: I had trouble staying hard after she complained about it, during that encounter, I don't have any trouble staying hard any other times. Well, the only other time was when an ex wanted to try anal sex, I was excited right up until I had to actually put it in there and my hard on died a quick death. The idea of it was far more appealing than actually going through with it (we had no condoms) and I did not want any foreign substance anywhere near my penis hole lol.

But think about it: it's not the size of your penis that's holding you back from enjoying life, it's your attitude to it. Be confident in your self and that will shine through. Honestly, if you're confident and fun to be around, then you immediately become attractive. Don't worry.
Thanks, yeah like I told someone in a PM I psyche myself out about it. My parents were hippies or something and decided I should be uncircumsized and here in the USA it seems to be very frowned upon to have fore skin and that just compounds my stressing over my dick. Hell, I once had a girlfriend say "I don't like uncircimsized dicks, they are gross and look weird". I gave her a dumbfounded look and said "uh, okay, I am uncircumsized????" See she had already given me 2 or 3 blow jobs by that point and we were sleeping together and it just blew me away. She must have not been very observant. I stumbled upon a reality show one time and the girls on the show wanted to see the guys dick because none of them had ever seen an uncut dick before and he whipped it out and they were like "ewww". Anyways, its almost like "fore skin" is a dirty word here in the US.
Average size, average thickness, and uncut. I know it's dumb but I get hung up on it.

It's not very usual in sweden.
As for size... I prefer girth to legnth and well, too long is not my thing. I don't think of cocks in sizes. If I'm on it... I feel if I like it or not.
Width>Length, and size≠pleasure. If you know how to use it, what to say, how to move, how to tease, and how to push a girls buttons? You're set.
I've heard complaints from girls dating men with cocks that could be used to hunt elephant with, who can't get them off simply because they rely on their dangly bits to do all the work for them.
