Our reading

An editorial interpretation.

The speaker supports a general claim about strange remarks during sex with an awkward personal example. The sudden reference to calling someone 'Mom' supplies the surprise. The anecdote makes the point through embarrassment and incongruity, without explaining the cause of the slip.
