First, please edit your comments before posting like that. Your grammar is awful.
Second, Rose would not have been allowed to sleep with Cal because it was against the rules of engaged couples of that class and era. Plus, she wouldn't have wanted to sleep with him, regardless of knowing Jack or not, and would have used the rules of the upper class as an excuse, despite his fake wooing with the gigantic diamond necklace in an early scene.
Girls like her would have been raised in a very sheltered upbringing. Typically upper-class women were educated with either tutors at home, or were sent to all-girls boarding schools for rich daughters, and later went to Finishing School, which was a sort of "college" for young women so they were educated to be ladies. It was a layover from the Victorian Era, where upper-class boys and girls were deliberately separated most of their young lives until they were old enough to get married. It was also extremely important that prospective brides remained "pure," and in order for a rich bastard like Cal to have a "proper" wife, she had to remain a virgin before her wedding night. He, on the other hand, had no such obligations to remain a virgin.
You obviously are not a millennial, or you would remember how all the teenage girls in 1998 were swooning over Jack Dawson as a great, handsome, hot hero with revolutionary thoughts. And then, less than two years later, the air went out of everything. Interviews with Kate Winslet revealed that she and Leo shared a trailer, and she bragged about them not sleeping together. Now what kind of a man shares a trailer with a woman that beautiful (or "hot," as my brother described her) and doesn't sleep with her at least once? In fact, he spent more time around Billy Zane than he did Kate, and there were rumors of him carrying on a private relationship with Billy instead. So you can imagine how angry Leo's former fans were when the realized that he was not "available" to swoon over anymore.
He became known as "Leonardo DiCRAPrio," and many teenage girls tore down their posters of the movie, got sick of the love song real fast, and I knew one who literally burned her Titanic soundtrack out of disgust. There are some who refuse to watch the movie or listen to the music to this day.

Just watch the movie again. I understand the social class differences of the time but the movie still portrayed them a late 20th century light.
I'm obviously not a millennial because I remember seeing titanic in the cinema as an adult and not a teenager or 12 year old.

People don't sleep on set if that's what your implying.
