There probably has to be some level of cohesion (keeping it together in combat - when you're under fire, you don't want your mates to wet their pants and run away), but I would assume that's established through drill and general camaraderie, not through romantic or sexual entanglement.
You're right. Fun fact though, there's a certain percentage of people who have to pack extra pants for a patrol. And nobody cares as long as they keep fighting.
