"Lover"?

The page describes Pinsent as a "lover" of Wittgenstein. So far as I can tell it's (at best) highly doubtful that this is a correct description. It certainly appears that Wittgenstein was in love with Pinsent, but is there any evidence that Pinsent saw Wittgenstein as more than a close friend or that they engaged in any sort of physical intimacy? It seems to me that at least one of those should have been true for "lover" not to be a misleading term. There may well be such evidence; my knowledge is confined to what I've read in Monk's biography. (And of course the thing might be true without having left evidence, for one reason or another, but to justify a statement here there'd better be actual evidence.)
