The 'Trainwreck' star insists all her friends were "acting out sexually" years before she was, while she retained her innocence throughout most of her teenage years.
She said: "I was always boy crazy, but I wasn't promiscuous.
"[My friends] were acting out sexually years before me. I loved being around that, but I didn't have sex until I was seventeen. And I didn't give a blow job until I was well into college.
"I'm sure I had some sort of d**k in my mouth, but I wasn't performing sex acts until later."
But during her days as a student at Towson University in Maryland, Amy adopted a different attitude and, taking inspiration from 'Sex and the City's maneater Samantha Jones, decided not to get "attached" to anyone and slept with a series of men in quick succession.
She told America's Vogue magazine: "I lost my self-esteem my freshman year. I think I was maybe in the 25th percentile in hotness. And then in my sophomore year, I probably had sex with six guys, and I was like, maybe I'm like Samantha in 'Sex and the City' and I'll just keep this train movin' so that I don't get attached to anybody.
"I always thought that sex was funny. I was always interested in it."
These days, the 35-year-old star is in a relationship with furniture designer Ben Hanisch and couldn't be happier with him.
She gushed: "We're in love. And we're still in total honeymoon phase. It's a real relationship. Who knows what will happen, but we're real good right now."
And Amy won't poke fun at her 29-year-old boyfriend in her comedy shows unless he gives her his approval.
She said: "If I am going to tell a joke about my boyfriend or his mom, I'll make sure that they're OK with it. I'm not like Nora Ephron - everything's copy. For me, everything's copy if friends and family approve."
