In a candid interview with Cosmopolitan, the 31-year-old spoke about everything from stripping at the age of 15 to social media making her a feminist - and said that her son Sebastian, two, comes way before romance.
'I don't even want to have sex!' she said, adding that most men are 'extremely scared' of her. 'I really don't!....
'I'm just so focused on my son and my work and everything that I'm trying to do. I just don't even wanna be bothered.'
And Amber's career is certainly keeping her very busy.
While the model is constantly doing club appearances and has a new book - titled How To Be A Bad B**** - available to pre-order, she had humble beginnings.
Amber's parents divorced when she was young and she was raised by her mother in South Philadelphia.
The star admits she was 'very poor' and tried stripping for the first time at the age of 15, but realised she was out of her depth.
'I was very, very young. I did it and I was like, "Oh, hell no, I cannot do this,"' she recalled to Cosmopolitan.
'I was a kid. I think I was still a virgin at the time. Being onstage with my boobs out, it was like, "Oh my god, this is not for me."'
By the time Amber had turned 18 she was much more comfortable in her body and with the line of work, and kept it up until the age of 25.
'That was the best time of my life!' she said. 'Oh my god, I had so much fun. I really did. All the girls were really cool.
'The guys weren't allowed to touch you. I was never sexually assaulted or [anything]. I was young, beautiful, I was onstage, I wasn't really ashamed of my body. I made lifelong friends.'
The estranged wife of Wiz Khalifa's past as a stripper became a sore point during her now infamous feud with Khloe Kardashian back in February.
It all began when Amber - who it should be noted is the ex-girlfriend of Kim's husband Kanye West - called Kylie Jenner a 'baby' and said she should 'go to bed at seven o'clock', slamming the 17-year-old's relationship with Tyga, 25.
Khloe then criticised Amber for her past as a teenage stripper, and Amber promptly fired back by calling Kim a 'wh**e' and claiming that Khloe's real father is OJ Simpson.
Even Kanye threw his hat into the ring, saying that he had to 'take 30 showers' after dating Amber, and before he got together with Kim.
The widely publicised feud certainly made Amber a better-known star, and she said: 'I went from 1.2 million [Instagram followers] to 5.5 million in a couple months.' She now has 6.7million followers on the site.
However Amber believes that her fiery personality is what has really made her popular.
'I think the turning point was when I just stopped giving a f*** about what people say,' she told Cosmo. 'One day, I just woke up and I was like, "You know what? I can't sit around and stress anymore about the Internet and what people say about me. I just gotta do me."'
On the topic of feminism, she added: 'I was always about girl power, but I didn't quite get it because I did always feel like I had to be completely submissive to a man. I was always very unhappy doing that.
'I think I needed time to grow up. You get to a certain point in your life where you really find out who you are, and sometimes that happens when you're 25, but for me, it was 31. I didn't quite know that before. I guess social media did help create the feminist monster that I've become.'
