Mark Consuelos is quite the cunning linguist.

The ripped Riverdale actor, who along with his wife Kelly Ripa remains committed to being one of the thirstiest couples in show business, opened up about his sex life in a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live. Consuelos admitted to host Andy Cohen that he would probably describe himself as being "hornier" than Ripa—but then, while playing a game called '1,2, Agree or Disagree,' said that he has a certain trick which he likes to deploy as part of foreplay to help turn her on.

"Dirty talk in the bedroom," Cohen asked. "Yay, or nay?”

Consuelos gave the question some brief consideration, before playfully answering: "Only in Spanish."

This is the second time in as many weeks that Consuelos has mentioned the role that being multi-lingual plays in his marriage to Ripa. "You know the romance languages. The Europeans, we’re both from that descent," he said during an episode of Live With Kelly and Mark in May. "There's the French kiss, one of my favorites."

Ripa jokingly added that the couple often pretend to French kiss at home in order to annoy their kids. "We make them think we're Frenching," she said, "because it disgusts them."

Consuelos recently joined Ripa as the co-host of the popular morning show, replacing Ryan Seacrest, and their real-life chemistry and history as a couple have led to some pretty funny on-screen antics—including the moment where Ripa was reduced to hysterical laughter by a segment in which Consuelos went to a physical therapy appointment... and he decided that his bulge was so big it needed to be pixelated for TV.
