It does make sense that a cure never came up. You had basically three types of people in the movie that interacted with David: Those who were completely ignorant of his curse (Agutter's character was in this category until the very end of the movie), those who knew about the curse but were certain it couldn't be cured (like the patrons at the Slaughtered Lamb), and the people who wanted him dead, not cured (the werewolf's victims, who could only be freed from limbo by David's death).
As for a female version, Lobo Leo did do a photomanip sequence a few years back of a female version of the famous scene (including a tail). Not sure where it might be found now, though.
