You make good points about him. The notes for Wulg are still rough, and will probably change once he actually gets some text. 'thul will have to figure out something to explain why he has no experience with women, but part of the reason will be slight fear of being rejected by them. Slow maturation on that front might also be an element. Wolves don't have the same courting rituals that humans have, so even with a lot of wolves to be around, the females there would not be able to offer him useful advice.
One thing is certain though... he's meant to be heterosexual. 'thul cannot reliably write a homsexual character, having little true knowledge about how such people think and act. The idea of his uncertainty is that its not going to be reasonable. Oh, and the warrior type you described makes no sense from the sense of getting genes to survive. It may be that the evolutionary overdrive has purged such traits from existence. Though it naturally hasn't been decided, it would not be surprising if some strong female character came along and gobbled him up. 'thul learned to respect strong female characters from the books by David & Leigh Eddings.
A rough layout of where the different species will be found on the map can be put like this:
Dragons are mostly in mountains, though they fly everywhere.
The settled live underground, mostly in cities (Holds and deeps) placed on map as polygons with a dot in the middle or dot surrounded by multiple circles.
The Packs stick to forests. They live mostly everywhere, but have permanent settlements that are populated on semi-permanent basis spread evenly throughout each forest.
The Nomads essentially live on the move, everywhere that is not marked off as mountains, forests or water. They quite simply don't have permanent settlements, and as such are problematic to place on the map.
The Taken live with dragons, northwest part of map.
Nomads form tribes.
Packs form packs.
Settled form clans.
Dragon society is still under construction, but when sent out by leaders, they fly in flights. typically numbering from about 7-20 dragons. (sole flight written in yet had 11)
The next faction that will be fleshed out is the Taken, for they are needed for the story now. Dragons will naturally be fleshed out with them.

Note that they are subject to change and may prove lacking in personality. Feel free to point out flaws in them. And if you see some sort of character style that fits to another character, don't hesitate to suggest. It might not fit in the overall plan as a single character, but traits will certainly be used somehow if the suggestion isn't used in one piece. Accepting help is something 'thul have learned. Several of the female characters probably have (or will have) flaws that anyone female could spot, yet are unnoticeable to 'thul.

Note:
when 'thul write in all italics, it is the lord of the three realms within 'thul speaking. A fairly egoistical, but also somewhat simple-minded dragon. Do not take such posts at face value.
