Love and Translation, which premieres Sunday on the network, follows three American men who move into a luxurious villa in the Dominican Republic with 12 women.

The hook? The women, who come from all over the world, cannot speak English.

A couple gets hot and heavy under the covers, as the racy trailer shows. The three bachelors confirm to : “Touch was our most useful form of communication.”

The trailer alone is packed with skin-on-skin contact, including Tripp passionately making out with one of the women while in a body of water, while it appears Dylan is getting frisky under the covers with another .

“There's a lot of touching happening,” Sangita teased, while promising that this social experiment was “unique” and that the trio had “a lot of fun.”

“I think touch was the best substitute we had,” said 24-year-old participant Kahlil.

“You can make someone feel comfortable through touch, like dancing.” And it feels natural.”

The Texas native continued, “I feel like touch has been, in some ways, our most useful form of communication.” And I mean, sometimes it would make me like more kisses and other extra things or something like that.

“I think it was one of the most useful things we did.”

Dylan, 21, agreed, adding: “If you can't use language, you have to use other senses to communicate.”

“So we used every other option.” Everything else in the tool belt was pulled out.'

Kahlil (pictured) revealed: “Sometimes [touching] would result in me having more kisses and other extra stuff.

None of the 12 women on Love and Translation can speak English – which creates a roadblock

Host Sangita Patel told : “There's a lot of touching happening,” adding that the trio had “a lot of fun.”

Overall, the bachelors described their time on Love and Translation as “really humbling” and “grounding.”

Tripp, a 30-year-old California native, pointed out that the trio becomes “a little more sophisticated in our nonverbal communication” as the show progresses.

He continued to : “One of the things that stood out is that I learned to communicate using just my eyes.”

“So you can do a lot more by listening and communicating than just learning the basics of cavemen.”

The cameras weren't afraid to capture the action as their romances deepened – and the bachelors weren't shy in front of the camera.

Tripp said: “I registered that everything was being monitored and never thought about it.”

'For all of us, [the cameras] were just one factor taken into account in the situation, so we chose to focus here on the presence of the moment.”

Overall, Tripp noted that the overall vibe of the show was a “true open love experience.”

He said: “Everyone has freedom, every heart is open or closed.”

“It was a really humbling and grounding experience for everyone in one way or another.”

While they kept the outcome of the series top secret, Sangita hinted, “Love is a universal language and I really believe that will become clear in the end.”
