I'd say less than 1% actually practice no sex before marriage. It's hard to fight what comes natural, and what is the point in going against nature? Of course you want to test the waters of the person you are going to be engaging in sex acts with for the rest of your life.
Back when I dated or whatever I did enforce waiting, because I wanted it to feel more meaningful but we never waited more than a few months. I would never have dreamt of marrying a girl I had not even slept with, the same way I would not have considered staying with someone who wanted to get jiggy with it in the first two weeks.
For me it was always no marriage before sex and no one night stands or racing my way to the sack. A fair medium I think.
