perving
Staring with lust
Perving is ogling someone sexually, staring at them with obvious desire: I caught him perving on the lifeguards.
The word is informal and mildly vulgar, suggesting the gaze is unwelcome or inappropriate.
It can extend to consuming sexual content: perving over Instagram photos.
From pervert.
