Why the HECK does Clark not just tell Lois that he's a virgin when the whole question comes up?!?!
"Lois, there's something I have to tell you... there's no possible way that he can be my son because I'm a virgin."Hehe. Well the way I see it, A) he was nervous about bringing up that subject, really nervous, and he didn't feel actually comfortable until Virtually Destroyed. (Yeah this is a weak argument.) And B) Lois didn't believe, at first, Clark's assertion that he didn't have a kid. (THAT bugs me... but yeah okay, it helped Lois deal with her issues about trust, yada yada.) If Lois wasn't going to believe Clark about THAT, despite all they'd been through together, how much she loved him, etc., I don't think him blurting out THEN that he's a virgin would have made her go "Oh, well then, in THAT case, I believe you!"
It just, to me, didn't seem like the best time to be bringing up that issue.
And hey, Lois very well could have gone, "You? Ha! Give me a break."
I think it was good of him to wait for the dust to settle before sending another shock her way.
