You left him mid-session to drop off a rental car?

Luger's longevity provided it with at least 2 advantages:  (1) the legends who ate there in prior centuries; and (2) it was one of the few restaurants in New York allowed a coal fired oven since the NYC regs precluded them because Luger's was grandfathered so as to be exempt from the regs.  I always wondered how a restaurant focusing on steak could maintain it's culinary strength when it's been owned for so long by a family that won't eat steak for religious reasons.

I read it as the opposite.  He will bottom but only in a session 3 hours or longer.

I agree that we are subjective. Your "not classically handsome" may be my "classically handsome". I tend not to think of pretty and handsome as interchangeable. In Ivy's case, I found his features quite handsome, proportional, great eyes and lips, nice facial structure, etc. And I found his body to be a wonderland. Plus there's how he uses it.

No, it's not "obvious" until the NDA is pierced.  Beyond that, most corporate NDA's are part of settlement/separation agreements.  A fair portion of those seek to keep allegations of sexual harassment and related details from being disclosed.  They are routinely enforced, even though there is generally more collateral evidence of an improper purpose for the NDA (payments made to the person who sign the NDA.  The "everybody knows" argument isn't evidence.  To get the evidence to nullify the NDA you first have to nullify the NDA. Not gonna happen absent a criminal inquiry into the hirer. 

Not true.  The typical NDA, even in an escort situation,  covers more than the fact of the meeting and any sexual activity.  More broadly it protects confidential information and against reputational harm.  They are generally enforced unless there is a need for the information for a criminal prosecution.  This is not a situation where the agreement is itself for an illegal arrangement (such as a contract to pay x dollars for y sexual services). 

NY has inclusive antidiscrimination laws which would protect him from being fired for being gay. 
Also, most employment is "at will” meaning the employer can fire the employee without any reason at all.  The limits on such terminations are that it not be discriminitory and that it doesn't violate an employment contract. 

In the U.S.,  a "College” confers bachelor degrees (although they may confer honorary doctoral degrees).  Universities comprise multiple colleges and confer advanced degrees as well as undergraduate degrees.

You are confusing the illegality of the meeting with the legality of the NDA.  The NDA arrangement is not itself illegal or against public policy.  Unless it is being used to preclude giving evidence of a crime being prosecuted, it would be enforced.

Why ever would you want him to bottom ?

This is an overbroad statement. It is true that good students who apply themselves can get as much from their college experience as students do at Ivy League schools. And there are some exceptional State Universities, and some that are exceptional in certain areas or fields. However, the faculty at the Ivies are uniformly among the top in their fields, the schools all have tremendous resources for research (libraries, science facilities), enroll students who are at the top of their classes in secondary school, and in a whole manner of other ways offer a generally more rigorous and exceptional education than other colleges and universities. The brightest stars from other schools may measure equally or even better than the brightest from the Ivies, but the great majority of Ivy graduates are better educated than the great majority at most other schools.
 
It is also true that coming from money and being connected is a huge advantage for getting admitted to the most competitive schools, and that merit has less to do with the admission in those cases. But that's not how the vast majority of students get into the Ivies. They do so by being at the top of their HS class, having a breadth of experience, testing well, doing laudable and interesting things outside of school, being among the best at their extracurricular pursuits, etc.

I'd quibble over the term "a la carte" menu. From what's been posted, it's menu of pricing "packages" for time. Although it's probably not the best fit for the escorting context, it's not dissimilar to how a lot of services are priced. You can pay monthly at x rate, or you can pay for a year in advance at a discounted rate, or you can enroll in autopay and pay a rate in between the two. When I read "a la carte" I think of it being about paying not for a block of time but separately for each activity. In the commercial context, it's like paying for basic cable then having to pay for each movie or event as a "pay per view" or "on demand" purchase.
 
Maybe I missed something, but ivyleaguehungvrs's fees seem more chock full of premium rates discounted for bulk purchase, not pay per item pricing.

I sat next to Daniel Radcliff in a New York restaurant a while ago. Nice guy, but not sexy. 
Now Ryan Guzman, he is sexy.

Am I the only one who sees the humor and irony in the notion that "other people being triggered" is, in itself, a trigger worthy of two pages worth of commentary?

... And don't forget your inability to use punctuation
It's not about being woke.  It's about acting like a decent human being.
Not being an asshole isn't all that difficult.
 

I don't wanna put words in Sam's mouth, but I'd guess it might be because you asked in a forum he wasn't even aware existed.

And we're done here.

Not really.
He's clearly doing what makes him feel comfortable and I'm sure his reality past makes him marketable to people who want that. 
Again, just because it doesn't fit into your little box of acceptable doesn't make it bad. 
You're in the wrong sandbox if you want to judge people for their sexual jollies. 

I used to think that way. But then I realized I didn't need to say everything I thought. 
And I think criticism is fair when it regards things people can control. But commenting on a person's appearance, particularly their weight, height, or facial features, is just mean-spirited. 
I prefer men taller than me (6' or taller), but I don't go from thread to thread calling the providers "midgets." So I'm frank about my preferences while not insulting or dehumanizing anyone. 

You are splitting a hair re: reduced rate, and made this more confusing. You made a last minute appointment, wanted something specific, recognized there was a decent chance that wouldn't/couldn't happen, and set a price with and without the specific. You paid what you agreed to pay for what you did get. We all have our own ways of evaluating experiences. Had that been mine, given the last minute hiring, I probably would not have given a 4 star review. Had I felt conflicted about giving a 5 star review, I just wouldn't have submitted a review.

What’s the point of this bump?  More than a half-dozen forum members have reported on their varied experiences with Tommy (most very good, some not-so-great).  All of their posts were made within less than a year (from September of 2021 through February of 2022), so the info is relatively recent.  What else is there to ask about?  

His political views were, at one time, a factor that could have made encounters uncomfortable.  By that I mean he reportedly was insistent on discussing them and defending them.  Then, at some point, it clicked for him that it was better to keep the politics to himself so as not to create discomfort or conflict.  From that point forward, those who've seen him have been universally laudatory in their comments.  I'd encourage everyone to do as Adam has and leave his politics out of the discussion.
