Owned by Desire: A Memoir of Bodies, Boundaries, and Becoming

At nineteen, Geenso Leiman’s body became her loudest enemy. Trapped in the relentless grip of Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder, every lecture, date, and quiet night alone turned into a battle between her mind and her skin. Caught between a distant professor who sees too much, an unfaithful boyfriend who sees too little, an obsessed classmate, and a masked stranger who invades her nights, Geenso is forced to ask: who really owns her desire? In this raw, intimate memoir, she peels back shame, lust, and obsession to confront the mystery of her own body and identity. This is not a story about being saved from desire—it’s about learning to stand in it without disappearing. For anyone who has ever felt caged by their own urges, this is a story of claiming your body, your story, and your self.
