Perverted Fanservice

Can be called "PF Service", "Pervy Fanservice", or "Perveservice" is a word that describes the sexual term version of the word "Fanservice" which originally means, to please the fans. This word was made to be a replacement of the word "fanservice"(the bad kind), it is intentionally made to be of use when you have no other words to replace fanservice.

fan service

In general, fan service refers to scenes designed to excite or titillate the viewer. This can include scantily-clad outfits, cleavage shots, panty shots, nude scenes (shower scenes especially), etc. Some broader definitions also include things like cool mecha, big explosions, battle scenes, etc. Basically, if it has little plot-redeaming value, but makes the viewer sit up and take notice, it's probably fan service in one form or another.

fan service

The broader definition someone who has never heard this word might think of: Some stuff the producers of a show do to please the fanbase. This varies depending on the fanbase.

The darker and unholy definition (mostly in anime): Episodes in anime that diverge from the usual anime episodes in the sense that they're more... sexual... than normal.
Fan service can mean a lot of different things, but if you hear the term in anime fanbases, assume they mean the less holy stuff in an anime. I genuinely hate the anime fanbase if something like THIS counts as fan service.
