History Main / LustObject

* In the ''DresdenFiles'' universe, the White Court of vampires have Raith House. Said house derive nourishment from sexual energy. Because of this, they are often lust objects for anyone, male or female, within close range, particularly when they are hungry.

Kind of the kinky older sister to the LoveInterest. A LustObject is a character who is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin actively lusted over by another]]. While a character thinks about [[HoldingHands holding their]] LoveInterest's [[IntertwinedFingers hand]], and shows a LuminescentBlush in their presence, he or she will regard a LustObject with [[ImagineSpot dreams of improbably risque situations]], and more often than not, TheNosebleed.

It's possible for a LoveInterest to also be a LustObject, especially when the protagonist is [[AllMenArePerverts male]] and the LustObject, [[MsFanservice an attractive female]]. However, this is usually not the case, as a LustObject is rarely regarded as anything other than that -- an object to lust over. The gender inversion of this is a [[AllWomenAreLustful female]] lusting after [[MrFanservice an attractive male]].

'''Note''': ''A character who simply thinks "sexy" thoughts about their LoveInterest is not regarding them as a LustObject''.

For a character to be a LustObject, they must be thought of as 'objects' to fulfill the [[FetishFuel sexual]] or [[FanService proto-sexual desires]] of the luster, outside of (or in addition to) any romantic feelings. A good indicator is whether or not the Object speaks during the [[ImagineSpot waking wet-dream]]. If they don't, or if they only use 'stock' sex-scene phrases, they're probably a LustObject. If they hold a conversation, or even just speak in coherent sentences, they are probably closer to a LoveInterest.

A HelloNurse is a character who is a LustObject to ''everyone'', usually PlayedForLaughs. EatingTheEyeCandy is one way for a character to dwell on their LustObject, while MaleGaze / FemaleGaze is a way for the author/artist to emphasize that the Object is being fetishized.

* Stifler's Mom from ''AmericanPie'' could count, since while the other boys tend to find relationships, she and Finch only ever seem to have sex once and then that's it.

* In ''CloudOfSparrows'', every section told from Zephaniah's point of view keeps mentioning how much he wants to shag Emily.

[[AC:{{Live-Action TV}}]]
* Peter Serafinowicz's character on ''BlackBooks'' was this for Fran. It's made clear that he's a self-important arsehole who Fran can't stand, but it doesn't stop her spending half the episode literally masturbating to the sound of his voice.

* Bob Sorenson became this for Kris in the "Toni's Boys" episode of ''CharliesAngels'' when he [[ShirtlessScene took his shirt off]].
* In series 5 of ''DoctorWho'', the Doctor is this for Amy Pond (she even says as much herself when he tries to rebuff her advances by pointing out that their age difference makes them incompatible), in sharp contrast to the emotion-based crushes Rose and Martha had on him. She gets over it halfway through the season, after her actual ''love'' for her fiance Rory is tested.

* This happens to Miles Edgeworth at least three times in ''AceAttorneyInvestigations''. He has no idea why.

* On ''BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', Spike seems to view Buffy this way. ''He'' calls it "love", but she doubts it. Of course, by the ''end'' of the series it's definitely love; reasonable minds can disagree about what point that began.

* WebOriginal/TheNostalgiaCritic has become this to Spoony. Of course Spoony has the hots for [[AnythingThatMoves everyone]], but Critic is the one whose spooning was set up and mentioned again afterwards, and Spoony ''really'' enjoys humiliating him.

* ''SinCity'' has Nancy the stripper. She's the favored "performer" in Kadie's Bar but her main luster is the HeroicSociopath Marv. It's likely that he is in love with her but isn't fully aware of it.

** Buffy also sees Angel in this way in "Band Candy". When she goes to visit Angel, Buffy's eyes were mostly glued to [[WalkingShirtlessScene his sweaty bare chest]].
