Ashley Graham had a no sex policy before marriageLos Angeles, Sep 3 (AZINS) Model Ashley Graham says she didn't have sex with her husband Justin Ervin until their wedding night.

The top model talked about her personal life with ELLE Canada. She said she wanted to wait until her wedding night to retain some 'power' in the relationship, reports dailymail.co.uk.

She said: "My husband and I waited; call me crazy, but it worked. Our sex is amazing! It made me feel like I had the power back in my dating life. He respected me more because I wasn't willing to just give it up."

Graham, 28 - who met cinematographer Justin Ervin at a church in 2009 and got hitched the following year, advises other women to wait before getting intimate.

"I tell my friends to wait three months. Just see if he can wait. If he can, he's a good guy. And, again, it's not for everybody, but for me it was great. It's something I'm actually really proud of," she added.
