He is trying to keep is desires a scerte. I feel like this song is about him wanting sex with a women, but he doesn't want anyone to find out. Like a song for someone who is about to commit adultry

"Don't Hide Our Love Woman To Man " It's obvious that the term "in the closet" usually refers to homosexuality, but as quoted above, Jackson is singing about the sexual attraction between a MAN AND A WOMAN, which is heterosexual- so enough of that! :) On the other hand, one has to wonder why Jackson would say his feelings are in the closet, if he indeed was not gay.. could be for the controversy, causing people to talk. In my opinion the video fulfills its' purpose of betraying Jackson as desiring Naomi. :) Grrreat vibe between the two :)

I think he decided to succumb to the advances of one very high profile star (among certainly hundreds who must have tried in vain),and his condition for that would be if she would "keep it in the closet" (a secret). It was probably someone he didn't want to be associated publicly maybe, for whichever reasons.

To me, he is speaking of a high profile woman, someone who, if word got around they were "diddling", it would be pandamonium in the press...I think he's saying go ahead and give in, but keep it hush???

It is about great sexual temptation, which young or old we all may face through our lives, but as with all of Michael Jackson's songs on the topic, in the end he calls for abstinence outside of marriage.

"In the closet" does not mean homosexuality!! It actually means those aspects of life one wants to keep it to himself or herself. Here it refers to sexuality. The woman here is desperately attracted to the man and she wants him. The man too is equally attracted- he can't avoid her as desire is burning in him. But he wants to keep whatever that happens between them to themselves. He doesn't want the world to know about it while the woman seems to be not so bothered about the world. If this is to relate to Michael Jackson's personal life, all we can conclude is that he wanted his privacy. He preferred not to talk in public about his relationship to the world- fair enough. Very much fair enough.
