I just realized that I have a huge number of NSFW pics on my phone, though they are in a separate paid app that hides them away...
Anyway, over the years I have gathered thousands of pics.

36,219 pics, 3,503 videos. None of them are of myself, so I don't really care if other people look as long as it's not like my parents or something lol.
Probably more than I know. Browsers cache thumbnails; if you don't have an ad blocker, you almost certainly have at least one cached NSFW ad thumbnail. Lemmy caches images too, so if you intentionally or accidentally opened an NSFW photo, it's also on your phone. I suppose there are people who aggressively disable caches and turn on cache purging, but most of us don't.
People in Lemmy overuse the NSFW tag, which means half the time the actual image is entirely SFW. Which means, I end up opening many NSFW blurred images that might or might not contain actual nudity. So I know there's "porn" on my phone.
Oh, and there's also that 4GB folder of Capybara BDSM Vore.
Nice try honey, I don't have any. We have been through this.

I have a few pictures of flowers. So, in a metaphorical way I reckon those could be considered NSFW? Beside that, I'm afraid I have nothing to show. Or should I say to hide? ;)
I have a few more NSFW books on my bookshelves at home, mind you. Not porn even though I do have a few Sade and other authors like that. They're mostly books that would today be (or had once been) considered unsafe reads. The kind of books more and more people (those same people that don't read much outside their comfort zone) believe can do harm and want them to be removed from certain public libraries, or want them to be more or less completely edited to fit their own narrative.
If I were a PornHub employee, the pics could be called "NSFW"?
Like a lot.
I'm pretty sure anti-establishment memes are not safe for work.

Zero. My phone is portable. I could lose it at any moments notice. I can and have unlocked it to apps that I forgot were open, and with the borders now they can search it for any reason. So zero.
Valv.
Whether or not you use it for porn, it sounds as if you might appreciate it. It's pretty easy to use, and if you SyncThing it to your desktop, there are a couple of decryption tools. Some also support encryption to the vault format, so you can upload files to your phone already encrypted.
I put everything I don't want strangers peeking into in there. Bad poetry, lists of my favorite owls, diary entries.
None. It seems particularly foolish and ripe for the worst kinds of abuse.
Whether you like being naked or not, or particularly care if others will see you naked, those images can be weaponized against you at any time. It’s best not to give a potential attacker ammunition.
I wish we lived in a better world, but we don’t.
I don't think OP was exclusively thinking of selfies, since they didn't mention "selfies."
I didn’t mention “selfies” either
How could such images be weaponized against me, if they're not of me or anyone I know (not selfies)?
You were able to use your imagination to manufacturer something I never said. I suggest you engage your imagination once again to manufacturer an answer.
