I always wondered why Jonathan Kent and Martha never had a biological child.
It's revealed by Mr. Hornsby in Superman IV that Jonathan was abstinent just like Clark is.
Why did Jonathan Kent choose to be abstinent especially when Martha kept praying for the good lord to bring her a child?
Furthermore, by does Clark choose to be abstinent just because Jonathan was?
When questioned about his abstinence by Hornsby Clark just shrugs.. "Sorry sir but that's just the way it is."
Any ideas why this is the case?

Not sure if you're serious with this one, but in case you're not joking.
adjective: obstinate
stubbornly refusing to change one's opinion or chosen course of action, despite attempts to persuade one to do so.

Wait... Hornsby said Clark was just as "abstinent as his father was too"
Abstinent- the practice of restraining oneself from indulging in something, typically alcohol or sex.
Maybe after his evil Supes exploits in III, Clark decided to be abstinent?

53 00:09:28,014 --> 00:09:31,016 That's my final decision about the place.
54 00:09:31,017 --> 00:09:33,520 I'm going to hold out for a real farmer.
55 00:09:34,020 --> 00:09:35,021 You are?
56 00:09:37,524 --> 00:09:40,026 You're just as obstinate as your father was, too.
57 00:09:40,527 --> 00:09:42,528 I'm sorry. That's just how It is.
58 00:09:42,529 --> 00:09:44,530 You be careful when you get back
59 00:09:44,531 --> 00:09:45,532 to metropolis, Clark.
60 00:09:46,032 --> 00:09:48,033 It's a long, long way
61 00:09:48,034 --> 00:09:49,035 from where you were born.

Okay we obviously need some clarity on the whole abstinent debate. All I know is, at that point, Clark is all alone on his farm. Unmarried, no girlfriend and no kids.. Hornsby takes a look at Clark and puts 2 and 2 together.. he's abstinent just like his old man. heck, Clark even decides to give aways the glove and ball.. being abstinent he's never gonna have kids of his own to give them to.
