ABSTRACT
At the heart of generation, and generations, is the sex act, requiring the coming together of a man and a woman. Sex may or may not involve love. The story of the romance between John Stuart Mill and Harriet Taylor is quickly told. Sometime in 1830– are not sure of the exact date, but the meeting seems to have occurred in the summer or early autumn – John Stuart Mill met Harriet Taylor at a dinner party at her home. The "love affair" itself underwent the usual ups and downs. In the summer of 1832 Harriet wrote Mill that they must not meet any further. Reluctantly, he agreed. But a few weeks later they were seeing one another again, and he was again visiting the Taylor home. Even in death, Harriet was Mill's constant spiritual companion. The chapter concludes the consideration of sexuality in Mill and Harriet with an extraordinary private statement.
