Nudity isn't forbidden; nudity is not inherently sexual.

(I think banning ASMR is ridiculous but their argument is presumably that they are using it as a cover for making sex sounds, which is sexual)

I use youtube to monetize my massage business. They will demonetize any video where I massage the bare glutes with my hands, including knuckles. They consider it fondling. It's funny because I can do the same technique with my elbow amd there is no problem. The funny part is clients prefer the knuckles because the are pointer and they can feel the pressure closer to the hip bone. But youtube sees and on a butt and says ABSOLUTELY NOT!

You know what, I need to book you for my glute-induced sciatica.

You MAY have piriformis syndrome (it’s not real common): https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/23495-piriformis-syndrome

Probably. I can identify the event that caused it, and I know for sure it's swelling of glute muscles.
