Omarion Reflects on Three Years of Celibacy: 'Now I Look Back, I Be Like Sheesh'
In a recent interview with Boyz II Men's Shawn Stockman on his podcast, Omarion opened up about his three-year experience practicing celibacy as part of a spiritual journey. According to the B2K singer, being celibate was an intense and transformative experience that allowed him to "spiritually search for strength and personal control over myself and my body."
The 15- to 16-year-old Omarion explained that he initially resisted the idea of sex, but ultimately realized it was a natural part of life. He shared: "I did it for three years. Now I look back, I be like 'sheesh'... Because I love women. I love women in all their splendor, friendships, best friends, lovers, all that."
During his period of celibacy, Omarion reported experiencing a form of telepathy, feeling closer to others even when they were physically absent. He credited this with teaching him the power of discipline and self-control, which has allowed him to "turn his life into just another level." Omarion described this experience as a "cheat code" for focusing and committing to something.
Omarion's past experiences with celibacy have been publicly discussed before, including during an interview last summer. In that conversation, he addressed peers' questions about pursuing a career versus starting a family, saying, "Do you want to have a career? Or do you want to be out here making babies?" Omarion emphasized the importance of considering one's values and goals.
More recent updates from Omarion include an upcoming collaboration with Create Music Group and an announcement of his new album titled O2. The singer expressed excitement about sharing new music, stating that he is "ready to give the world some new vibes all the way."

. It's great that he found discipline and self-control through this experience, but can't he be learning those lessons in school or from his role models instead? 
like 3 yrs of celibacy is a big deal but its also super inspiring that hes found his strength in being self controlled 
& now he's making music again w/ create music group & new album o2! 
cant wait to hear those new vibes 
. Celibacy, in his case, was a radical choice that forced him to reevaluate what he wanted from life. And let me tell you, it's not always easy to admit when we've been wrong 
... Omarion could've gotten stuck in that mindset of "I'm celibate, so I must be a better person"... but nope! He realized that sex is a natural part of life and he still values self-control. The key takeaway? It's all about balance and being honest with ourselves 
.
. Now, can we talk about his upcoming collab with Create Music Group? I'm low-key hyped for new music 
!
i wanna try celibacy just to see if i can feel that connection too 
anyway i cant w8 4 his new album O2!! 
Omarion's experience sounds pretty intense, but we're talking about a 15-16 year old here! 
It's like he was trying to adult before his time? 
I'm all for people finding themselves, but maybe he should've done it under the guidance of some grown-ups instead of on his own? 
can't wait to get my hands on it
I think his experience sounds super intense and a bit alienating from reality. He's still got that "I love women" vibe going on tho 
and I'm low-key here for it. But what really gets me is when he says he did it to focus and commit to something... like, wasn't the whole point of him exploring his own body and desires in the first place? 
. But now that he's back to being... well, him 
, can we expect a new level of Omarion? His music always had that vibe 
. And now he's all like "I love women" and "I'm so glad I did it"... but didn't he miss out on some epic parties or whatever? 
. Anyway, new music from him is always dope, so I'm hyped about that! 
. It's almost like he found a new language for himself, one that lets him connect with others on a deeper level without having to navigate the physical realm 
. The idea of "discipline" as a kind of cheat code is pretty fascinating too - it makes me wonder if this experience changed his perception of power and control in other areas of life 
. Anyway, I'm curious about how this new album and collaboration will play out - Omarion's energy seems to be all over the place lately 
. I'm glad he's sharing this experience to help others find their own path 
.
. Like, it takes guts to admit you were resisting sex just because... but also, I get why he needed that experience. He seems really introspective now and like he's found a new level of focus 
. Can't wait for that new album tho!
