I've noticed how some people say size doesn't matter, but in truth does the size of a penis really matter?

The absolute, don't-spare-anyone's-feeling, hard-hitting, truth? If most guys were injected with a truth syrum, they'd give you an honest, "Yes. It does matter." Fortunately for most, they don't have to worry about their size, especially if they're an average guy. There are, however, always exceptions to the rule - on both ends of the scale. Penises can vary (on the lower end) from 3"-5", and 8"-10" (or higher) on the upper end. 8"-9" is the typical size on the large end, although some guys have been known to grow 'em larger than 10" - but that is extremely rare.
That having been said, what size is a good size? That's subjective. "Size queens" will often tell you that bigger is better, and if they can't get 8" or more (to 9" or 10"), then "forget it". The average guy ranges from 6"-7" erect. Girth is another factor. That can range from 4"-6" - at least the ones I know -- and in my time, I've known quite a few, believe me.
Sidebar: Keep a few things in mind when it comes to size. First of all, HOW is the individual measuring theirself? (Usually it's from tip to "root", not beyond or below that). Another thing, the size of the guy. Body types can be optical illusions. Look at the average size penis on a REALLY skinny guy and it looks huge. Look at the average size penis on a stocky or heavier guy and it looks small. Another thing to look out for it trimming. Some guys don't like excess body hair, so they either trim it or shave it. Conversely, some guys are all about the hair, or may even have A LOT of it. Trimmed pubic hair can give the illusion that the guy's penis is larger, and too much can make it look smaller. Again, optical illusions.
Some guys who are into anal sex, but can't handle the pain tend toward enjoying the average or below average sizes of their partners. That's because, duh, it's easier to cope with. Also, average or slightly bigger guys may enjoy topping more because the amount of maneuverability they can have while having sex.
As you may already know, guys penis' come in all shapes and sizes, and as varied as they are, you get differing impressions on what's big or what's small - esp. depending on what you're doing. You know that a 7"length on a 5.5"girth is gonna be a big, "thickie"... but you may not be able to handle that, OR it may be too little for you. Also, the size and shape of the head of the guy's penis plays a role in it to. Big ("mushroom") head on a average girth shaft has an "arrow" effect. You can probably imagine what sex is like with that. If not, think of the reason for an arrow's shape and do the math.
Size is, as I suggested before, subjective and relative to the guy you're with and what you're up to.
Lastly, and above all this, remember that "it's not what you got, it's how you use it" statement? It's true. If I guy doesn't know how to handle his tool (or yours) then it's a very different experience with someone who does. It's the difference between wanting to go for Round #2 and wanting to go home to 'finish off'.
So, before you sell someone short (pun intended) because of the size of their tool, consider everything that's going on, and how well things are "handled".
Have fun!!

Well, if you're a size queen, then yes, it matters... I'm not really a size queen, as long as he knows how to use it. But honestly, if it's smaller than 3 inches, what am I suppose to do with that?!? So, in a way, it does matter to some extent.

Size only matters to a gay bottom. And by association a gay top. If you are not into anal sex then size really doesn't matter. In fact if you engage in oral sex you are going to prefer a guy of average length over a massive penis.

It's not the size of the boat it's the motion of the ocean. Some guys with big penises don't know what they're in the bed becuase some of them get a big head. But it doesn't matter for me.

You have to know how to work what ya got. When you master the maneuvers then ... no... size won't matter.

For me personally, it doesn't matter that much. It's probably cliched, but I'd prefer a nice personality to a massive c0ck.

For me, some can be too big to enjoy orally or anally.
