Despite the negative connotations of the word, obsessions don’t have to be unhealthy. Maybe it’s a first love and you sit dreaming of them until the next time you can touch again.

Perhaps a new partner has introduced you to a new sexual experience, so intense, so mind-blowing that all you can think about is the way it had you writhing and squirming and cumming until you were a spent wreck.

Or just maybe, it is an obsession with a slightly darker bent. We have horror, reluctance and mind control categories on Lush. It’s an extra challenge for writers to write in those categories and stick to the consent rule, but when people get it right, the stories can be pretty intense.

As always, don’t limit your imagination. You can write in any main category (no poetry, flash or micro) and have any number of sexual partners for your characters. Use the category descriptions to get additional ideas.

Stories should have a maximum of 7,500 words.
