In 2008, a study that consulted therapists who identify sexual disorders divided the findings into various categories based on the reported length of intercourse by their patients. The information further supported the notion that three to seven minutes were sufficient, while seven to thirteen minutes were regarded as exceptional.

According to the same study, durations of less than three minutes may cause clinical concern, while durations of more than 10 minutes were typically considered to be "too long."
