It was reported that one couple not only had no premarital relations but no post-marital relations as well. But, both were "absolute" for Christ and the church, so all was "fine."
Looking back on my time in the LC's, much of what we thought were "recovered truths," exclusive to the Recovery, were really cultural mores or superstitious beliefs.
One brother I lived with for a while was married under such circumstances. The marriage did not last. Later on I heard that the brother decided he was gay.

As I said anecdotal examples can be cited to support any position. “It was reported...” .. “I heard...” are indications that your information is not only anecdotal but hearsay.
