"Since she was amoral, her behavior was immoral."

This means: "Since she had no standards, her behavior was wrong."

This amoral girl did not perceive her self as immoral. She does not see her sexual activity as a.right or wrong thing.

"Immoral" may connote sexual wrong (as above). But does not have to, as in "He is immoral -- he cheats on tests and lies about his golf scores."
