This is where all my old blog posts have ended up. Several blogs became one.

Now, aside from being an archive, I typically use this space to ponder the nature of reality, the possibility of magick, and anything else, really.

I also have links to resources and recommendations here.

Zu Foos (a Germanic play on my last name meaning "On Foot") started as an attempt to leave the corporate world and make it on my own. I worked hard for several years promoting myself, traveling to fairs, buying advertising...

but in the end I couldn't get Gaga's lyrics out of my head: I try to sell myself but I am really laughing- I just love the music, not the bling.

Corny, I know, but it's the truth. Trying to sell myself was pure trash and I couldn't function that way, especially when I had positioned myself to be in a position where ZF was my only income. I put my whole soul into it and it was too painful for me to keep up.

So, I got another job, and ZF moved to the back burner. What initially felt like failure evolved to become security and freedom. I went all in and then was able to back out to a comfortable place.

Now Zu Foos is a place where I can truly live on my feet. It's about freedom, expression, creativity. My only hope is that I may be able to connect with you through my work <3

At the end of 2020 I decided to start offering professional touch services in and around Rochester, New York. In the past few years we've seen an uptick in professional cuddling services, and I think they've come at the perfect time. People need to be touched in a safe and non-sexual way, and these services can provide needed comfort and support.

Men, in my opinion and experience, can be especially starved for touch. Regardless of sexual orientation, men in the western world are expected to be emotionally distant and physically cold. It's not masculine to want to experience platonic touch, especially with another man.

[This is also where you can find information on booking a reiki session]

Reiki is a beautiful spiritual practice that involves channeling universal energy through your body and, usually, into another person for the purpose of physical, emotional, and mental healing.

If you are more interested in receiving a reiki treatment (rather than learn how to do it yourself), check out my cuddling website. There are options for reiki + cuddling, or just reiki by itself.

You should never be ashamed of who you are or what you're into sexually. The vast majority of humans are sexual in one way or another, and if someone tries to make you feel bad about that, tell them to suck your dick.
