Our Story
Like all good comedies, Sex Talk With My Mom was born out of tragedy. In 2006, KarenLee and Cam lost their husband and father to murder. After an intense period of grieving, KarenLee started dating again and created a YouTube channel to help other women get back in the dating game the second time around. Her channel quickly became a haven for bawdy, no-holds-barred conversations. As a comedian, Cam sought refuge from the awkwardness by using her material in his stand-up. Eventually they united efforts and created the best (and only) sex podcast hosted by a mom and son.
Mission
Our mission is to inspire laughter and open conversations about sex and relationships. We believe that honest dialogue can reduce sexual shame and violence, while increasing pleasure. Over our past three years of podcasting, Esquire, Huffington Post, Popsugar, TODAY, and several other publications have featured us as a leading sex podcast.
