US TV personality Kelly Ripa has dragged her husband and co-host Mark Consuelos over his 'repulsive' desire to have morning sex.
Ripa discussed her sex life with Consuelos on Wednesday's episode of Amanda Hirsch's Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast.
'I don't know about you, in your marriage, but I'm going to go personal. Are you an evening person or a morning person?' Ripa asked Hirsch, to which the podcast host replied, 'Definitely evening. Do not breathe on me in the morning.'
The Live with Kelly and Mark star, 54, then claimed that all men prefer to get it on in the morning.
'I find it disgusting,' Ripa said, adding that Consuelos, 54, wants to have sex 'only in the morning.'
'He'll never learn. He's a guy,' she joked.
Ripa admitted to telling her husband of 29 years that she needs him to sometimes be OK with hooking up at night.
'I said to him, 'Here's the thing,'' she recalled. ''There needs to be a yin and a yang here. It can't always be your way. 'Cause it feels like 90 per cent of the time it's your way. And now that we work together every day, it's gonna have to sometimes be my way, and my way's at night only.''
Ripa said that Consuelos also wants to kiss her in the morning — an act she finds very unsexy.
'I have a retainer in. I gotta rip that out,' she said. 'And he's got his nasal strips on. It's like we are the most repulsive, disgusting [people.]'
But Ripa noted that men 'don't care' and that the 'd**k has a brain of its own.'
She then joked, 'I'm already pre-disgusted for tomorrow morning.'
The former actress clarified that they don't have sex every morning — especially now that they both star in their early morning show together.
'The greatest thing about this job, this thing has like, almost repulsed him from morning time during the work week,' she said. 'Which is like a miracle.'
'May this show last until he suffers from erectile dysfunction,' she prayed jokingly.
Ripa pointed out that Consuelos is in his mid-50s and asked why he hasn't already started showing signs of impotence.
'Shouldn't that be happening now? I was promised!' she laughed.
Ripa did, however, share her secret to how she and Consuelos keep things spicy after almost 30 years of marriage.
'It's like exercise. The more you do it, the more you do it,' she said of having sex. 'You just have to do it, and then you're like, 'Oh! I remember why I like this.''
Ripa said that it's easy to deprioritise lovemaking when life gets too busy.
'You're exhausted, your kids are young, you're working full-time, you have a lot on your plate, and that can easily get pushed by the wayside,' she said.
The couple met on set of the soap opera, All My Children, in 1995 and quickly began dating.
She and Consuelos tied the knot a year later and went on to welcome three children: Michael, 28, Lola, 24, and Joaquin, 22.
In May, Ripa admitted that the upside to being an empty-nester is that she and Consuelos can get busy in the bedroom at all times.
'Your entire life becomes nudity in the household wherever you want,' she said on her show at the time.
Ripa said that they are a 'total freak show all the time' years after sharing that her daughter has accidentally walked in on them doing it on more than one occasion.
