Late starter [Brittany Murphy](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/brittany-murphy) credits her mother with encouraging her to lose her virginity.

The [Sin City](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/sin-city) beauty, 27, was a reclusive teen until her mum insisted she left the house to date guys when she was 19.

Murphy, whose past boyfriends include [Ashton Kutcher](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/ashton-kutcher) and [Eminem](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/eminem), eventually lost her virginity at 21.

She says, "I started going out with boys at 19, and lost my virginity at 21.

"The only reason I went on a date was because my mother insisted.

"She told me, 'Please go out at night, you need to improve the way you relate to people."

Murphy enjoys such a close relationship with her mum, she still lives at home despite her stardom.

She adds, "What's wrong with living with your mum? We're a very close family."
