Cain sounds like Sean Connery, not that is is clear that was intentional or anything, but Sean Connery was once James Bond. A notoriously rascally character.
Cain has a whole history before we met his in D1 as Cain the Elder. I doubt a young verile male would not engage in such acts. And I doubt an old man would not think back to his youth when something that triggers a memory or memories of ages long since passed, presents itself.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
I haven't actually heard it in-game, I just read it on my NPC dialogue list. According to the list, this is Cain's gossip that activates after you have rescued Anya (Quest 3 in Act V).
Its just weird thinking that Cain was once young. You know how like people have an extremely hard time trying to imagine their parents and grandparents as kids? Yeah, same thing.
I would imagine few people would have heard this line as many do not gossip with NPCs nearly as much as the should, if indeed they do at all.
Also the gossip lines are overwritten when you finish the next quest. If you rescue Anya, then kill Nihlathak, then gossip with Cain, you will get the gossip he gives you for finishing quest 4, and you will have missed your chance to hear his gossip line for after doing quest 3. Or perhaps since most do not do quest 4, and go straight to the ancients after rescuing Anya, but the effect is still the same.

"Ah, Anya. Such a fine example of feminine strength…
She reminds me of the Zakarum priestesses I knew in my youth. They don't take vows of chastity, you know."
