Not necessarily. Lucas himself came up with the retcon that the PT-era Jedi, while never allowed to fall in love or have long-term relationships, still went around having sex and one-night stands*.

 

*Is it any wonder why I utterly loathe the PT Jedi and Lucas "brilliant" vision? 

 I think that was always there. It may not be explicit in the OT, but given the monk like lives of Yoda and Obi it might be inferred. 

It's also said pretty plainly in the first draft. To paraphrase:

GENERAL SKYWALKER: Hey Jedi kid. Your dad was never much in the self-control department. You existing is evidence of that.
