The Plus size model has revealed she didn't have sex with her husband until they tied the knot.

The top model told Elle Canada that she wanted to wait until her wedding night to retain some 'power' in the relationship, but now the couple are wed they enjoy an 'amazing' sex life.

Ashley, 28 - who met cinematographer Justin Ervin at church in 2009 and tied the knot the following year - advises other women to wait before getting intimate. 

She told Canada's Elle magazine: '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.'

'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.'

The couple, who wed when Ashley was 22, have a long-distance marriage.

While the model lives in New York to work in the fashion industry, Justin resides in Los Angeles, where he works as a cinematographer. 

While Ashley is more than happy with her sex life with her husband, she also couldn't help gushing about getting close to DNCE frontman Joe Jonas, whom she worked with on the set of his music video for Toothbrush. 

She said: 'We kinda just met in bed, but it was so much fun working with him... He's so respectful and professional, but also a lot of fun and really cute!'
