Your point is entirely fair, and I do remember my friends and myself making jokes about which one of those four towers in the Temple was the 'Whore Tower', once we established that it was only attachment that was the problem.
But it we kidmnapped GL and beat him until he cared enough to give an answer, I'm pretty sure he would say that managing your drinking and trying to not give a shit about a baby you have by mistake are two very different things.

...my god, do you people even read why he's allowed to do that? The thread is about casual sex anyway, no attachments involved.
The only Jedi I can recall doing it is Quinlan.....and the Jedi didnt seem to mind as much, although he was going to resign from the Order...
Did the Empire kill off all Force potentials? Say a kid is born with Force potential to become a Jedi, but cant be trained because the Jedi are dead, how did the Empire know/prevent it?

He was allowed to have children because the Cerean birthrate was too low. I think that sex is forbidden (unless with Ki-Adi-Mundi's case) because it might lead to attachment to the Jedi's partner and possibly children. Ki-Adi-Mundi felt strong feelings of attachment to his family, until they were killed in the Clone Wars

Maybe Anakin knocked up Padme was because so many human Jedis were getting killed and he decided that it was his duty to help repopulate the human Jedi race.
whats this talk of children?
i posted later that this sex would be protected.
i should have thought to add that to my initial post, my bad.
and im sure in a universe so advanced, a method of
birth control would have been created with has a 100%
effectiveness. (please don't say "abstinence")
lets just assume thats the case, and thus there is no
chance of reproduction.
not loading the question at all ush.
stop thinking in terms of reality and think in terms of
a universe where you can have a severed hand replaced
by a fully functional and feeling hand. a universe of every
concievable medical marvel besides raising the dead, and
its not too difficult to imagine. not only the possibility of such,
but the probablility of it.
i know im digging deep, but the whole topic is digging deeper
than GL would even care to ponder, so humor me.
I think every grown up jedi can make his own choices and they're trained to know whats good and wrong. When a pretty girl tells Obi she always dreamed of having sex with a mighty jedi, I'm sure he would fullfill her wish, without becoming attached to her. He would help her and that's the jedi way.
wasn't there a theory once (I don't say it's canon) but that after Anakin became Vader the balance in the Force was so broken no more Jedi potentials were born...heard that somewhere
anyway yes sex is forbidden, Anakin saw it as a danger to tell Obi-Wan because he was so afraid to get closed out because he was married and he knocked up his wife...all too wrong lol!
I don't think drinking is forbidden as long as you can keep yourself sober...at least sober enough to not make attachments...like...SEX!!!

Maybe some Jedi that are not mentioned even in the least known of EU books were married with other Jedi (either in the PT era or the Sith Wars) and thus transmitted their Force-sensitivity genes.
As for the medical marvels, why would Padmé die after giving birth to their Force-sensitive children (while she only has 1 recessive Force-sensitivity gene out of the two needed to become Force-sensitive)? This is where reality meets SW.
