Yeah, I say dump him too. But use the old, "It's not you. Honestly, it's me" line. Because really, it is you. I don't believe you are repulsed by his penis after three years. I think it's something else.

Telling you what you could have done 3 years ago is pointless. So what to do now? How many options are there? It's an extremely finite number.
If there's any hope for staying, you could think back as to why you were attracted to him as a bf and why and how you overlooked it then.
I'd advise you to go with the "I'm not satisfied sexually" reason if you break up. Honesty without compassion is cruelty.
As for what to tell him, I don't think that is something that can be appropriately answered with just the info you've give. They say honesty is the best policy, but they also say ignorance is bliss. I can see that you telling him his dick is repulsive would really affect him badly, but maybe if he learns that is the reason his feelings for you might change and leave him better off. .
THANK YOU! Finally someone else gets it. The truth doesn't just set you free...it sets the other person free as well. He should know who and what he is dealing with upfront so he can process it and move on. Lying to him to "spare his feelings" might keep him in a state of despair for years...he could end of pining away for this guy...never really knowing who he truly was. The truth could save him a lot of time.
I'm glad that you are so confident that the truth is so necessary for you, however, some people do not have that same confidence. Being so explicitly truthful could cause him to have a psychological scar for the rest of his life. Never knowing whether those he might meet in the future would have the same opinion about his penis. Everyone is different in how they handle such truths and because of that, in my opinion, tact and diplomacy would be how to handle such a tender subject. The blunt truth does not always set a person free. It could cause them to recede into their shell. In might in turn set to OP free, but at the expense of devastating his partner.
Of course...you are right about the part where everyone is different and so maybe he can't handle it. I have no way of knowing. What I do know is more times than not in general conversation I find people overwhelmingly state that they would have rather heard the truth when looking back on situations.
