In Ghostbusters, maybe we now imagine Egon being resistant to Janine's advances because of whatever happened with him and Callie's mother.
In Ghostbusters II, he is inspired to include a little girl in his mood experiments because he is personally interested in child emotional states.
“Let’s see what happens when we take away the puppy” kinda takes on a whole new meaning. He might as well said “let’s see what happens when we take away the daddy”.
I like to Imagine it this way. Egon had no emotional investment in the mother what so ever. It was a purely scientific exercise. For both of them. “What happens to two people who try and pro create in a simulated zero G environment”
Or “What happens when we try to pro create after spending 82 hours at the epicentre of the Trinity test site”.
I imagine the mother being completely practical.
Callie’s Mom: “Hello Egon. I’ll spare us the rote 20th century mating ritual banter. Egon I need 47.5 CC’s of your semen”
Egon “Ok. I happen to have sterile basting stitch on my person for just such an occasion”
Callie’s Mom “You walk around with a turkey baster in your pocket?”
Egon(correcting her) “a *sterile* turkey baster. And yes. I do. One never knows the liquids one comes across on a daily basis. Why just the other day I happened upon a yellow substance—“
Callie’s Mom cuts Egon off
Callie’s Mom: “Forget the Turkey baster. I need an epididymis & yours is, well, you know”
Egon smiles.
Edit:
I just remembered. Egon does mention that Ray and Egon had the theory of human emotions affecting the environment when they were still Ghostbusters. Maybe that’s how Egon & Callie’s Mother met. Egon wanted to measure the effect of two humans coupling on the environment.
I like to imagine Egon and Callie’s mom getting it on while Ray stands there measuring the positive effects on the Gigameter pro type.
Ray “Ok Egon. Try increasing your rate of thrust and your angle of approach about 20 degrees. Oh wow. Beautiful. Keep that up. Look at those numbers! Ok. Now maybe try switching to the supine position. Excellent. Try massaging the mammary glands with both hands! Egon…this data is incredible!”
Just then Venkman walks in on the scene of Egon getting it on with Callie’s mother in the name of science while Ray hovers over them with measurement devices. Venkman stands there. Egon, Ray and Callie’s Mom stop and turn and look at Venkman. Venkman gives a dead stare to the camera and turns and walks away without saying a word. Egon, Ray and Callie’s mom continue where they left off.
