That's the whole thing with the vows that Sam was talking to Jon about. It doesn't specifically say anything about kissing or having sex or anything like that. Just fathering children or having a wife. ;)
Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.
Pyp and Grenn being killed off sucked, yeah, and they pretty much admitted here that they did it just because they were long time characters and felt killing them off would be more impactful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tspDoDxxOnA
I wouldn't worry about it being a future book spoiler. GRRM is always bitching that they're killing off people he doesn't (or hasn't planned to) kill off.
