In fact, the picture here was an illustration that ran with "The Illustrious Client" when that story was first published in The Strand magazine. Which is why I'm posting here...it's more or less canon.
As the story tells us at the beginning, Holmes and Watson are attending a turkish bath house. (And those in fact had a reputation as a meeting place for gay men.)
But no matter which (if any) "ship" you tend to board, that picture looks like they're in bed together.

Thanks for the lovely pic, SherlocklivesinOH. And the interesting fact about the Turkish baths.
