NSFW (or Not Safe For Work) is an abbreviation (Internet slang) that is used to label content (text, images, videos, and links) that would be embarrassing if watched in a public environment (at home, at work, or school).
NSFW-marked items may be sexual, sexually suggestive, profane, or show extreme violence. This article will teach you how to enable or disable NSFW content on Reddit.

If you want to consume NSFW content (it's okay, no need to feel ashamed). You should make sure that you watch or read it away from 'the public.' On the flip side, you can disable it and consume what is SFW (Safe for Work) only.
