Yeah it looks like it was done prior to DA2, although it certainly seems like Cullen hasn't gotten laid yet, or if he has it probably hasn't been for a while. Maybe as a kid in the Chantry or something prior to joining the Templars. He must have been stationed at the Circle in Ferelden for quite a while since he mentions whilst in prisoned during the Broken Circle that our Mage Warden was "the on thing he always wanted, but could never have." - Unless he meant sex in general at that point? LOL.
Anyway, here's another one. "A Case for Cullen" - it's about why he should be a companion in DA3, it's not great and not particularly detailed but it's a nice little read anyway:

Yeah, I remember reading that one when it came out... with a similar conclusion. 
I do see Cullen's time in Kinloch Hold being something like high school hormones running amuck... and he's stuck watching it all from the outside. I think that was even a Sheryl Chee analogy for him? Poor kid. I think it makes sense that he'd be tormented by his crush on Amell. I guess I figured his "thing he always wanted" was just... her. But, it could also be something sorta family oriented, like that demon-ensnared templar. It reminds me of this heartbreaking asktheknightcaptain from last year.
I just can't imagine that he hasn't had at least one opportunity to experiment in his whole 30-something years. It's not like he never ever leaves the Tower. But, who knows!
I think, if it wasn't for the fact that Alistair was a virgin then they probably would have made him one... however it's been done AND the poor guy is in his 30's now, or at least fastly approaching it. I'm just not sure how they'll incorporate him ever having sex into the game... I suspect they won't bother to mention it at all, thus avoiding any fan fall out.
I think it'll be more a case that they'll address the fact that he's never had a relationship or been loved, obviously he loved the Warden but he'll probably pass that off as it being young love/infatuation rather than true love, which could only really occur with someone who openly felt the same. It seems to me (dispite fanfic and head canons) that our Warden either wasn't interested in him at all or had been completely oblivious and took the gossip as just bored apprentices making up rubbish, until he actually admitted how he felt during the Circle Tower quest, by then it was too late and she was either already in a relationship or too busy worrying about the blight to give it any thought other than pitying him.
