I have a theory that, in the US at least, it's vaguely regional. No idea about other countries.
Do you say "cock" or "dick"?

My problem is I use both, it just depends on who I am talking too. I use penis if, it is the wife.

Both interchangeably but mostly cock for hard and dick for not hard.
Interesting! I've never heard that distinction before.
I use both and don't give a fuck. Just depends on how I think it sounds at the time.
I think COCK has a more raw sound to it and I love it

Cock is more direct and intimate. If I compliment a guy on his cock it's telling him I want it. Somehow saying nice dick just doesn't get the same message across.

Like many others have already said here
I adapt to who I’m talking to
Makes no difference to me

I do the same thing, although I use " penis" for something like a physical exam or medical environment. I actually think " penis" is a more titillating word.

For me there are dicks and then there are cocks. Depends on the look and size.
I have no preference to what I refer to a penis as and mostly change it up for no particular reason.
Sometimes you feel like saying it's a:

Other times, it just seems like a:

I use both regularly. Kind of depends on the context of the statement
As a general term for penis, I feel that "cock" is more common in the middle of the US, whereas "dick" is the go-to term on the coasts, particularly the west coast. Both terms are known everywhere (and "dick" has its secondary meaning of an unpleasant person everywhere), but I think it's relatively rare in, say, California to hear, "My cock is really sore today," whereas that would be the default word in, say, Minnesota.
This theory probably has a million holes, particularly in the modern mixed-up era, but that's been my lazy linguistic theory for decades.

Context matters.
Medical: penis.
Non-sexual: dick.
Sexual: cock.

Both... but also...
