What is the right definition of perverted?

Someone starring can quite frankly be easily labelled a pervert whereas someone sending explicit messages or content can be deemed upfront and bold. Where to draw the line exactly?

Perverted to most people means being confronted, or forced into dealing with, sexual behavior they don't personally like. No one likes receiving messages they have stated they don't want. It's not so much the specific sexual content but the fact that it's being displayed before someone who hasn't requested it, or who is clearly put off by it. Flashers in a park don't expose themselves to little old ladies, or small children, because they think those people will like it, but because theydon't.

@Serenitree Once when I was living with my boyfriend back in the 60s, there was a knock on our apartment door, and my boyfriend opened the door, then turned back into the room and said, deadpan, "It's for you!"

I went to the door and there was a flasher, unzipped and exposed. Because of my boyfriend's deadpan humor, I burst out laughing--and the flasher...wilted. I asked him, "Do you do this sort of thing often?" He turned and ran away looking, amazingly, embarrassed.

@afnanmakhdoom you said the right definition. Can't get any righter than right.
Staring? Online you might mean stalking. In real life, people stare at those who are different or unique. Not a bad thing, really, to be an individual. Bold means different things to different people. I guess it depends upon the individual. I would say perverted is continuing behaviour that is offensive to me when asked to stop. And it also involves sending cock shots or saying suggestive things when one is a stranger to me. I flirt with my friends here. My line is pretty clear. And I will clearly state when it is crossed or one is in the danger zone. Great question.

I think of it as involving a persistent obsession with some aspect of sexual activity. So someone who likes women’s feet or watersports, say, isnt necessarily a pervert just because they have a somewhat unusual sexual interest. But if they incessantly impose their interests on others, to the exclusion of other subjects or a partner’s other interests, then I guess that feels perverted to me.
The consent of the person to whom it’s directed. Unwelcome, insistent sexual attention can be considered perverted and even predatory if the object has already made her (or his) objections known.

There is no line. Nor should there be. It's all relative.
