I have a question I have been thinking about for a while now, did I misread Mason throughout the whole game until chapter ten?

I mean during his sex scene you can let him take control, and it looked like he knew what he was doing but I also think he's the most timid and shy LI in the whole game or was that just first impressions?
Mason has worked as a prostitute in the past. He's insecure, but he doesn't strike me as shy. Especially not when it comes to sex.

wouldn't call it prostitution per se, only kinda.
Sex in exchange for favors, money or goods is prostitution. It's not only Mason, the game has several characters that are or can be on that route. Which makes sense because the setting is ripe for exploitation scenarios.

Nikki in the 1st chapter whored herself for money.
Pepper can be convinced to prostitute herself in a sugar daddy kind of deal.
Britt can be groomed into casting couch porn.
Britt's mom can pimp her daughter.
Whatshername rich ex-junkie has done tricks in the past i think.
Viola is at the brink of prostitution with her landlord. Also Guy can groom her too.

as I said, kinda in the grey area for me. Yes what he did constitutes as prostitution technically, but I wouldn't call him a full on prostitute.

It's not really "kinda" by any stretch. Mason has spent years on the streets, paying with his ass for food and shelter from strangers who specifically obtained sex services from him.

If these babes are prostitutes, they are terrible at their job. I mean Nicki at least got some money, but the rest I'd give an F grade to.
Not getting rich from prostitution doesn't make one any less of a prostitute if they sell their body. Most of prostitutes don't get rich, in fact.

No, but a prostitute who earns a thousand dollars is better at their job than a prostitute who earns ten dollars.

Which was my whole point.

Let's say occasional prostituition, but when you get compensated for being sexually available, that is prostituition. I wonder if that could be extended for those nice ladies who only date guys with good money.

Well, Mason is young and gorgeous, he could have made good money if he had somewhere to stay and got serious on the business.

We don't know how much Mason really made with his ass. It all went in basic necessities he needed to simply survive but it's safe to say it was more than few thousands worth, over the years. Given a single person spends on average ~$350/month on groceries alone.

I think you overestimating that one... he was on the streets for quite a while, so can't be rolling in cash... from what he said I'd be guessing he did sexual favors for some change/food/night indoors etc. And it was only on occasion, not a regular thing, he most likely did what other homeless do to earn some money... not exactly screams thousands to me. Also if you are homeless you are not spending $350 a month on food.

I'm not saying that Mason is rolling in cash. What i'm saying is that people underestimate how much money it can cost to simply buy the basic necessities, i.e. how much you (have to) make and instantly burn without even being able to save up any of it.

Dev is so based. He adds "gay" love interest, but that man is actually a cute female who just identifies as a man. You're not even fucking someone who transitioned where they have masculine characteristics (and thus not attractive to most men). So you're really just fucking someone who looks like a woman, speaks like a woman, acts like a woman, but says they're a man so it's technically "gay". They even roleplay as a woman during sex so the "saying" part isn't even necessarily true.

If all gays are like Mason, people would be fucking them nonstop.
