Ashley Graham Used to Think Being Pretty Was About Sex

Ashley Graham is getting candid about her past sexual experiences.

The 29-year-old model felt it was important to include what she’s learned in her new book A New Model: What Confidence, Beauty and Power Really Look Like.

“I think that the more vulnerable I was, the easier it was going to be for someone to relate to me,” Ashley told Vogue. “I’m not going to just give you the story half-assed�”I’m going to give it to you full-on. For me, being pretty was wrapped up in sex. Being accepted was wrapped up in sex. I don’t want women to think like that. I want them to learn from my mistakes.”
