My theory is that "Cullen fans" are only fantasizing about a Cullen romance because they want to continue to romance Alistair, without jeopardizing the fact that Alistair is with their warden. By the amount of Alistair fans here. It's either that, or killing mages/being a religious fanatic get's them all going.
As surprising as it may be to some, Alistair is actually a very popular character. Some may also be surprised to learn that people are capable of telling the difference between vaguely similar personalities. Alistair and Cullen do share a few personality traits. Both are awkward at times, gentlemanly, and devoted to doing the right thing as they see it, but they are not identical. Alistair, for example, doesn't actually have a problem with mages and doesn't actually like templars very much. Cullen is humble, but when the situation demands it, he does not hesitate to assume a leadership role. Cullen is less self-aware than Alistair, but he does not need to be reminded where his duty lies. Alistair appreciates humor greatly. Cullen might have a sense of humor, but he has enough self-control not to let it show when he's on the job, as it were. We don't really know what Cullen is like during his leisure hours. For all we know, he might be as enchanted by fart jokes as Oghren in private, but I, personally, have a hard time imagining him snickering and saying "Pull my finger." With a few ales in him, he might. He strikes me as the kind of guy who loosens up to an embarrassing extent when intoxicated.
So yes, there is probably some overlap between the subset of gamers who like Alistair and the subset of gamers who like Cullen, but there is also some overlap between the subset of gamers who like Cullen and the subset of gamers who like geraniums. That doesn't mean that all Cullen fans like gardening.
If it matters, I happen to like Anders very much. That doesn't mean that I want Cullen for DA3 because Anders is taken.
Edit: @LolaLei: I could imagine Cullen being overwhelmed by his feelings (and associated organs) and consummating their relationship literally anywhere... as long as they didn't have an audience. He doesn't strike me as a "public display" kind of guy.
