This song is Michael's opinion on young people's views on sex, like the kids that he talks to and stuff. It's difficult to write that without it sounding seedy, but I think its a serious message, paedo issues aside. I also think its about the trauma he feels his brother's less than private sex lives caused him when he was in the J5, hearing them screw groupies in the same room and stuff. I think that really messed him up and he's talking about it here; 'Holy Mary, mercy me. Can't believe the things I see...Brothers, they don't give a damn...' or maybe Overall, this song questions sex and what it means, or shouldn't mean, to people.
However there are also a few lyrics that discuss other issues in his life.
"Sister's married to a hood, saying that she got it good"
He could mean sister as in any girl, but apparently Michael wasn't too keen on his sister Janet's first marriage. This may have something to do with his feelings on that.
"Mother's preaching Abraham, brothers they don't give damn"
Michael's mother is a Jahova's Witness and brought her children up the same. However, Michael felt his brothers were somewhat unruly and cared more about having a good time and sleeping around.
sorry for being so long winded
