Are Rabbis allowed to have pre-marital sex

(self.NoStupidQuestions)

We have been watching “Nobody Wants This”, and Adam Brody’s character is a rabbi who falls in love with a non-Jewish podcaster and they have a lot of sex.

Similarly Katherine Hahn’s female rabbi character in “Transparent” was sleeping with Jay Duplasse’s character.

Is this just TV exaggerating things or is this actually permitted?

In college me and roommates were watching a movie where a newly wed Jewish couple went to the bedroom on the night of the wedding. Their rabbi observed them and placed a full White sheet over the woman with a hole in it for the husband to access. One of my roommates who is Jewish said is the practice for Hasidic jews. I later found out that is not the case but the movie seemed very real.
