I think that stature/looks/fame has little to do with it.  It's all about the money.

Take a young man in reasonable shape and reasonably handsome and have him roll up in South Beach Miami in a F-150 pickup truck wearing boots, jeans and a t-shirt.  The hot chicks there wouldn't give him the time of day.  Take the same guy and have him roll up in a fancy car, name-brand expensive clothes and wearing expensive jewelry and he pretty much has his pick.

I think that Watson probably would seek a massage to "take care of his body", and if the masseuse was attractive he would suggest a "happy ending".  I also think that many of them probably obliged and he "tipped" them very well.  He finally came across one that refused and complained publicly.  Many of the others that obliged saw the $$$ and got on the lawsuit list.  It's all about the money.
