Most likely, considering he's never been married and in those days usually that meant no sex, and even if sex did take place outside of marriage Sherlock Holmes never gave the impression he was the sort of guy that went around sleeping with women.
The cabinet photograph that the King of Bohemia originally wanted Sherlock Holmes to recover remained with Irene Norton nee Adler; however, Holmes, Watson, and the king found a substitute photo in its hiding place, which Holmes kept, and there was a letter addressed to Holmes.
Women! He distrusted the entire gender. Though he was extremely courteous, he always left the consoling, comforting, or handling to Watson (who is seemed to be a lady charmer) and others.
It's written in one of Arthur Conan Doyle's bibliographies. According to that text, it says that Doyle got bored and sick of Holmes (though I can't think how anybody could be sick of Holmes) and killed him off in the Reichenbach Falls during his fight with Moriarty.
Women didn't figure largely into his life: he never got married, although Watson did. However, there was one woman who outsmarted him that he never forgot. In his cases he seemed to give women a good deal of respect; many of the women he encountered were smart and capable. He even remarked sometimes that a woman's intuition was sometimes more valuable than the most minute analytical observation. So, yes, I think Sherlock Holmes (and by extension the author, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) did respect women, certainly more than contemporary author Jules Verne, who almost never featured women in his stories and generally liked to pretend that they didn't exist.
No. In the books he actually displays virtually no romantic interest in women whatsoever.
Oh this is a saddd question!! Irene Adler was the only woman ever to escape Sherlock Holmes. Holmes held a much greater and deeper respect for women after that. And he always referred to her as "the woman". You'll hear a lot and I mean a LOT of rumors about some chemistry/romance between the two....but believe me, it is not not not NOTtrue!!! There was never anything between them. Sherlock Holmes was never interested in women and he laughed at romance.

There are many popular classic books available, along with many other genres. Some popular classics that many people are known to enjoy are Little Women, A Tale of Two Cities, Moby Dick, and the Return of Sherlock Holmes. Some other genres include Self-Help, Humor, Religion, Travel, etc.

He was engaged to Charles Augustus Milverton's housemaid. At the end of 'The Adventure of the Copper Beeches,' Watson writes "As to Miss Violet Hunter, my friend Holmes, rather to my disappointment, manifested no further interest in her when once she had ceased to be the centre of one of his problems." Holmes does not show any sign that he had a girlfriend before he met Watson. Most of the time he has a suspicious air towards women based on the fact that he states more then once that you can't trust them. Some of the film adaptations of Sherlock Holmes show that he does, like Young Sherlock Holmes (1985) and the latest Sherlock Holmes film staring Robert Downey Jr. (2009) In the 2009 film, a character called Irene Adler is added to the story to be the romantic interest for Holmes. This character was taken from one of Conan Doyle's short stories called A Scandal in Bohemia. In that story Holmes ventures in a disguise to Irene's home in search of an important photograph. The story is interesting and Irene's character is memorable because of the fact that she ends up being the only woman ever to outwit Holmes. As it turns out Holmes is impressed by the lady and keeps a photograph of her in memory of the case. Although a lot of people over the years exaggerate upon Irene Adler and Holmes, in the original story there is nothing to suspect a romantic relationship ever happening. In the story Irene marryies a man and leaves England. This character was never fully brought up again in any of the Sherlock Holmes stories. Save only by name.
'To Sherlock Holmes she is always THE woman. I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses and predominates the whole of her sex. It was not that he felt any emotion akin to love for Irene Adler. All emotions, and that one particularly, were abhorrent to his cold, precise, but admirably balanced mind.' -- John Watson, 'A Scandal in Bohemia' "I only caught a glimpse of her at the moment, but she was a lovely woman, with a face that a man might die for." -- Sherlock Holmes, 'A Scandal in Bohemia' 'He used to make merry over the cleverness of women, but I have not heard him do it of late. And when he speaks of Irene Adler, or when he refers to her photograph, it is always under the honourable title of THE woman.' -- John Watson, 'A Scandal in Bohemia' "I have been beaten four times - three times by men and once by a woman." -- Sherlock Holmes, 'The Five Orange Pips'
