I think the concern would be generating a Pavlovian response to her presence instead of genuine desire to be with her, but I don't even know what that really means because our animal brains aren't rational. There isn't a such thing as "genuine" in this context because it's all based on emotions. Should you not have sex with your partner because it can make them feel attached, for example?

Just hit it from the back so they don't get attached

Sure, positive associations can be fabricated but it's not as simple as the pavlovian response observed in dogs.
