Provided is a positive photosensitive composition which has high photosensitivity, is capable of giving an excellent resist pattern, and changes little with time after exposure. The positive photosensitive composition comprises (1) a resin having group(s) capable of decomposing by the action of an acid to enhance solubility of the resin in an alkaline developing solution and (2) a compound represented by formula (I), (II) or (III) which is capable of generating a sulfonic acid upon irradiation with actinic rays or a radiation: wherein R1 to R5 and R7 to R10 each represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an alkoxy group, a hydroxy group, a halogen atom, or a group represented by -S-R6, where R6 represents an alkyl group or an aryl group; X- represents the anion of a benzenesulfonic, naphthalenesulfonic, or anthracenesulfonic acid as defined in the specification; and m, n, p and q each represents an integer of 1 to 3.
