Actually young bourgeois men had sex with women of other classes before marriage to women of their own class who were sexually inexperienced. Good account of all this, with a curious look at the Austrian Social Democrats, in Hannah S Decker, :_ Freud, Dora, and Vienna, 1900_, which is about his patient Dora, a young woman of very respectable bourgeois origins.
