What is your definition of a perv?
I thought the term 'pervert' only has one universal meaning, I guess not.

| a person who practices sexual perversion. |
I think he meant our moral viewpoint, rather than a dictionary definition.
this is what i've got from my reference..
pervert
transitive verb [pər vúrt] (past and past participle per·vert·ed, present participle per·vert·ing, 3rd person present singular per·verts)
1. lead somebody away from good: to lead somebody or something away from what is considered good, normal, moral, or proper
2. misinterpret or distort something: to misinterpret or distort something such as a piece of text
3. use something improperly: to use something incorrectly or improperly
4. debase something: to bring something into a state regarded as morally inferior or reprehensible
noun [púr vůrt] (plural per·verts)
somebody whose sexual behavior is unacceptable: somebody whose sexual behavior is considered unacceptably deviant
[14th century. Via French < Latin pervertere "turn wrong" < vertere "turn"]
so for my conclusion definitely it's more on acting sexual things in mind..

Sexually deviant
i guess we are all pervs
andy is correct, we are all perverts on some level.
for what is sexually stimulating/pleasing to one is a turn off to another.
Being a person who does not really concern myself with what people do in their bed ALMOST everything is ok for them to do (IMO)
Children is where I draw the line, so if I were to learn that an adult was having intercourse with a child I would be angered by it and certainly call/view that person as a pervert/sexual deviant.

should we stop being it then? or is it natural? should we accept things that are natural?
i think we need to find out an ethical way to address this problem in society. we should not crave for satisfying ourselves but for others, and that is what true love is. if u get a true love, if the society is built that way, then there will be no pervs playing around.

I just take it as always thinking of dirty things, to do in "bed" or what ever. That's all it really is the french isn't gonna say its our definition ... but something similiar xD

Anyone that is morally deviated and 1) is aware of that; 2) is, in a way, proud of that.

Of course it's natural. There's an evolutionary reason why people have a sex drive - it keeps the human race existing. Of course, humans may be too successful at this which has led to overpopulation. But it is quite natural to have a sex drive. It's pretty easy to see the evolutionary benefit of it.
a pervert should be someone who perves! Am i right?

I completely agree with you. Thats how nature works.
It keeps all the animal races existing.
Also, about overpopulation, I think thats why monogamy, etc is important. Maybe, that was the reason marriage was invented (or maybe not, but our ancestors could have feared overpopulation and decided idea of 'marriage' can help).
A quick way to let someone know you're not interested in them?

A person perceived to be a serious deviation from what is considered to be orthodox or normal. Although it can refer to varying forms of deviation, it is most often used to describe sexual behaviors that are seen as abnormal or repulsive. Perversion differs from deviant behavior, since the latter refers to a recognized violation of social rules or norms (although the two terms can apply to the same thing). It is often considered derogatory and in psychological literature the term paraphilia is now used instead, though this term is controversial.
I have a paraphilia! I like oral sex, for instance. 
But not balloons, of course, whats so funny about them?

This is my feelings also, what someone does in their own bed is their business and no one elses, whether its "perverted" Or not is none of our business, except where children are involved
If someone perverts the course of justice, they deliberately do something that will make it difficult to discover who really committed a particular crime, for example, destroying evidence or lying to the police. He was charged with conspiring to pervert the course of justice.
