One of the things about fanfic is that things which are ambiguous in the original text need to be resolved, even if you like them ambiguous. Sometimes storytelling demands deciding whether Schrodinger's cat is dead or alive. At these times, whether or not a fic will work will often depend on whether or not it fills in the blanks in a way which is plausible to its audience.
So I'm working on my post-"Born to Run" John/Savannah universe, and I'm wondering is John Connor a virgin in "Born to Run"? If not, with whom has he had sex? If so, what is the extent of his sexual experience?
To be clear, I'm not asking what you like to think happened in your own personal canon, but rather what you think the most straight-foward explication of the text would be. In the closest possible world to the actual one where what we see on the show is "true", is John Connor a virgin?

In a "least hypothesis" reading of the text (which is to say, one which is relatively 'shipper goggle-free), is John Connor a virgin at the end of the (television) series?
If not, with whom has John had sex?
