not having sex before marriage can be rather detrimental. It really can cause a great deal of problems to be in a relationship where your sexual appetite is dussimilar. Fact is, it doesn't much matter if you want it once a day, a week, or a year, so long as your partner wants it at about the same amount of time and about the same time. I think it's important to look at the religious aspect of it with some understanding... Some things don't scale, and some things dont last. Meaning.. 2000 years ago, and considerably more recently, women were property. Right or wrong today being irrelivent, at that time, that's how it was. This required certain sexual mores and traditions simply for the survival of the community. Currently, that is not the case. Sex with a mans daughter no longer puts him at such risk of having to raise a strange man's child, and makes the daughter almost un marryable (bad word, but it's all I got),

You get the idea, so religion has only the value here that an individual gives it. Certainly if you are going to feel bad or guilty about that, you should probably not do it. But on the other hand, it is the judgement of the person in the situation who gets to make that call, not the judgement of the observers.
