My wife and I did not receive any pre-marriage sex counsel from our bishop and we were able to figure things out on our own. During the first few weeks of a marriage couples tend to figure things out naturally. What satisfies your needs is between you and your spouse. It is later in the marriage when life gets complicated with school, work, kids, medical conditions, emotional stresses, so forth, when the “hang ups’ tend to surface. Although most bishops or SPs will never turn you away if you seek counsel, I expect a loving and caring bishop/SP to recognize his limitations and recommend professional counseling while continuing to f/u with you if the “hang ups” are affecting your spiritual well being.

This is an aside, but one thing I really appreciated was the non-church-sponsored premarital counseling my church required before we could be wed. The counselor was pretty much able to predict all our future areas of conflict and give us tools for how to address them when they became problems.
