Omarion gives honest answer as to why he ended his 3-year celibacy journey

The B2K singer has been open about abstaining from sex, highlighting how it gave him a greater sense of power and discipline.

For years, Omarion was known not only as “unbothered” by the drama but also as someone becoming more in tune with himself through celibacy. However, in a new interview, the B2K singer reveals he’s returned to having sex, for a very distinct reason.

During an appearance on the “Bag Fuel” podcast, the 42-year-old singer not only confirmed that his abstinence journey was over, but also what opened his eyes to ending it.

“I started feeling out of touch with women,” he told DJ Clue and company. “I was like, ‘Damn, I need to get back in tune.'”

While it was a “home girl” who he ended his celibacy with, Omarion revealed that just because he is no longer abstaining from sex, he would be resuming having casual sex frequently.

“It wasn’t like too serious,” he began. “I had to come back like, look listen, I’ve been taking a break. I need some love and sh-t. I want to make love … I want to connect.”

During the three years abstaining from sex, the “Ice Box” singer confirmed that he learned plenty about himself. In a conversation with Shawn Stockman of Boyz II Men last November, Omarion revealed the power and discipline he harnessed while focusing solely on himself, and not sex.

“I just had the power to say no to anything. Like yo, if I don’t want to do something, I could stop today. And I think that that’s the power of discipline—[it] really turns your life into just another level,” he explained. “So, I think more than anything that I was just really just practicing discipline of self, and it really served its purpose.”

He added, “I always say I’m one of the few guys that I could turn my discipline on and off, and it’s like it’s a cheat code for certain things … I really know how to focus and commit to something because of that discipline.”
