Two things

1) It was the Old Jedi Order that forbid intimacy. Luke wasn't part of the Old Jedi Order and never would have known their rules since Obi-Wan and Yoda didn't teach them to him. Luke came up with his own rules for his own New Jedi Order.

2) It was only intimacy that was forbidden. Sex was not. You can have sex that isn't intimate. People literally have casual one night stands all the time. What got Anakin in trouble is that he fell in love, not that he was having sex. If he was just "friends with benefits" with Padme, then there would have been no problem at all. So, yes, if Luke did follow the rules of the Old Jedi Order, he could have had casual sex and fathered children. He just never would have gotten married.

Heck, I bet you that Obi-Wan was getting laid all the time on Tatooine. He was pretty familiar with the Mos Eisely cantina. He probably went there a lot to pick up drunken sluts for one night stands.
