Did Jack and Rose use protection?
I hope they considered safe sex.

Back then, there was no DNA testing. I *assume* Cal was banging out Rose being that they were engaged, so if she got knocked up by Jack, it may not have ever been known by anyone including Rose who the baby daddy was.
Yeah. Jack was a pos for screwing an engaged gal. And Rose was just as despicable for going for a dude who didn't respect her boundaries as an engaged woman. Even if she was unhappy.
shareI recall a scene where Cal asked Rose why she didn't come to his room? I was surprised, considering the era, despite being engaged women were still chaperoned back then. Maybe they were fooling around on the sly.

After hearing what Cal said about Rose not coming to his room, I assumed they were doing a bit of the old in and out and also when he said she was his wife by practice if not by law (during the argument).
Anything was possible.

Years ago, I saw a documentary (History channel back when they actually did history) on early American colonial era life and engaged couples were "bundled" to each other and spent the night with each other before marriage. Supposedly there was no amorous congress but others have said it did happen.
I also read that some 35 percent of unmarried women had premarital sex in the 1910s - 1920s - the time that Titanic sailed, so Rose and Cal hiding the salami wouldn't be a stretch, particularly if engaged to marry.

Is that true? I don't know as I wasn't there...
