Omarion is speaking candidly about what led him to end his three-year celibacy journey, explaining that he eventually began feeling disconnected from women and wanted to reconnect through intimacy.
During B2K’s recent appearance on Bag Fuel, the singer was asked what prompted him to become sexually active again after going three years without sex.
“I started feeling out of touch with women,” Omarion explained.
He shared that celibacy initially allowed him to focus on himself, but over time, he realized he missed experiencing a deeper connection with women.
“I was going through the process of understanding that I needed to do things for myself too,” he said.
Omarion explained that his outlook started to shift when he began questioning what his relationships with women would look like without physical intimacy.
“If I don’t hit her, then what?” he recalled asking himself. “Nah, I need to get back in tune.”
When asked about his first sexual encounter after ending his celibacy streak, Omarion revealed that it was with a female friend.
“It was a homegirl,” he said. “It wasn’t like too serious.”
However, the singer made it clear that after spending three years abstaining from sex, he wasn’t looking to simply engage in casual encounters.
“I’ve been taking a break. You know what I mean? I need some love and shit,” he recalled telling her.
“I want to make love,” he added.
The B2K singer also opened up about how celibacy gave him the opportunity to channel his energy into other areas of his life, including his music career.
“So you spend your time doing things, you know, that are more important, making music, working, singing,” he explained.
Omarion has previously discussed how his decision to abstain from sex was tied to his spiritual journey and his desire to strengthen his self-control.
“I knew that if I could control two areas of my life, which is food and the urge of sex, then you know nothing can stop me,” he said in an earlier interview.
He has also described celibacy as an exercise in discipline that taught him to become more deliberate about his choices.
Although Omarion eventually chose not to continue with celibacy, he maintains that the experience changed his approach to relationships.
“I did it for three years. Now I look back, I be like, sheesh. ‘Cause I love women. I love women in all [their] splendor, friendships, best friends, lovers, all that,” he previously said.
