no no serving them did not entail spending any night with for one year. it was a rigid vow they had to observe (some rules he laid to beget worthy children) which would have enabled them to get used to him also.
satyavati was worried that in one year without any heir to throne hastinapur might be attacked or so(though it makes no sense with bhishma present)
as for kunti and madri wherever is it mentioned that they did not have sex???hmmm?maybe the mantra worked as a boon to call god and ask children from him but can we be sure that it was accomplished without the act?? i think the authors shied away from writing it explicitly as they were about gods.
