In the real scriptures there many juicy stories to ponder Krishna.
In the Mahabharata, Rishi Parashar was attracted to Satyavati and had premarital sexual relations with her, which led to the birth of Maharshi Krishna Dwaipayana, Veda Vyas. How can a Rishi who is devoted to God indulge in such activities with an unmarried woman? He didn't evade his duties as her male partner who demanded more and more pleasure from her even when she was in front of her father and other relatives !!!!
Parashara then created a fog surrounding himself and Satyavati, and he was able to restore her virginity after Veda Vyas was born. Vyas was born there and then and grew to adulthood immediately. No pregnancy, no breastfeeding, no weening onto solids, no changing Huggies or pampers, dealing with the terrible childhood illness, and adolescent angst. He developed into full manhood as soon as he was born. When you can do that kind of mystical magic then the normal rules donβt apply to you, especially if your child is the literary incarnation of the Supreme Lord!!
As a young girl, Satyavati uses to wander in the forest, and in one such wandering, she came across the great sage Parashar. Parashar was the grandson of the great hermit Vashista. Satyavati was the daughter of a fisherman, she used to smell of fish. Parashar was particularly disturbed by the foul stench that was emanating from her. Parashar asked Satyavati to ferry him across the Yamuna. As they were crossing the river in her boat, Parashara grew attached to Satyavati and desired to perform coitus with her. Parashar said to Satya that the child born of them will not be any ordinary child but he will change the course of history, in fact, write the source of history. But Satyavati was terrified of him and gave an excuse that there were many people including her father were present on either side of the river. So Parasara, with his mystic power, created a dense sheet of mist around the boat. After that, Parashar gave Satyavati two boons--- the first one was that Satyavati would henceforth be emanating the finest fragrance from her person. The second one was that she would get her virginity back and no one will ever doubt her integrity!!
Later no one doubted Kunti's chastity and integrity as well, even she had kids through different demi-Gods.
In the same way, there was a very interesting story regarding Brahma and Maa Saraswati.
As you rightly mentioned, it was a free society with minimal rules for a woman, the people at that time never tried to suppress the feminine intellect as well as their freedom of expression regarding their bodily desires and their intellectual prowess. They were not silent sufferers like in Treta Yuga. Of course, there are always exceptions in extraordinary circumstances.
This story was there in Mahabharath Adi Parva with many details.
