IIRC the line that gets people worked up about sex before marriage is just something like “Keep the wedding bed pure” …kinda vague, and to me personally it reads a lot more as “don’t cheat on your SO” than anything to do with timing of sex.
Definitely not a theologist though, so grain of salt.

I interpret it as “Don’t eat biscuits in bed”. Nobody wants to sleep on sticky crunch after you’re both done.
