Terry is "good and clean and pure." And the way Mr. Caniff lampshades it like that is, I imagine, his own way of eyerolling the situation.
This is a good point, as, in 1941, a young man who didn't have casual sex would have been seen as an exemplar ("good and clean and pure") in a way we wouldn't think of it today.
