Fundamentally I guess there is a disconnect here around what "safe for work" means, and what the "not safe for work" function is for.
To me, unless you work in a primary school or something a journalistic article from a reputable newspaper that discusses (but does not explicitly depict) sex or sex work wouldn't be considered inappropriate content for someone to be reading. It's journalism, it's intent is not to be titillating or lewd . If this was "my life as a sex worker" published on someone's onlyfans then that's probably different; different context and different intent.
Imo, the "NSFW" flag should be reserved for the "would it be ok if I scrolled past this on the bus with a child sitting next to me" - explicit or graphic violence or sex.
Mastodon does this better - beyond the NSFW flag, you can add arbitrary content warning flags, so if you think your content might offend or upset, you can highlight that fact so people can choose to skip it.
Just my $0.02. I'm from a European background so I guess attitudes and norms about sex might be a bit different compared to the US.
