Farrah Abraham said this week that she hopes her new image as a sex icon won't hinder her dating life.

During an interview with US Weekly, the reality television star delved into some details of the sex novel trilogy she penned based on her own life experiences. The former "Teen Mom" said writing the content for "Celebrity Sex Tape" was "therapeutic."

"I think because of the experiences I went through, and I think some of them were unfair, and I guess judged incorrectly from the public when I was going through some things with my sex tape," she said. "I think it was the catalyst for me to start writing therapeutically, and then I was thinking of fictional characters so I could kind of get out of my head and this came about."

Farrah's upcoming books will reportedly tell the story of a young woman named Fallon Opal who becomes a reality television star, then gets swept up in a series of sexual conquests following the release of her sex tape.

Farrah previously slammed critics who claimed a ghost writer wrote her books.

"There were no ghost writers," Farrah stressed. "The story and words all came from my imagination."

The single mother of 5-year-old Sophia said she is no longer involved in the porn industry, however, and has re-entered the world of dating.

"I think dating is definitely easier, but I'm working on some other projects right now that help me be around more level-headed men and I hope to find myself a great business man who has his own thing going on and not really about entertainment," she told US Weekly. "I really just want them to get to know me for who I am, and the hardworking individual that I am. Not like some sexy symbol, not some person who's a reality star, I'm like a very real person, and I just don't want any more fake people."

According to US Weekly, Farrah's reference to "fake people" includes her ex-MTV costars.

Catelynn Lowell, Amber Portwood and Maci Bookout, who also starred on "Teen Mom", reportedly refused to participate in a reunion show if Farrah was involved as well.

"Truthfully, I was never friends with any of them," she told Us. "Personally, I like to keep my life separate. We came in this project separate, and I think it's best we keep our lives separate."
