Giuliani describes herself as a "unicorn" - a single woman whom polyamorous couples seek to have romantic relationships or sexual threesomes with.
The 32-year-old wrote about a journey of "unbridled self-discovery" in sleeping and exchanging sexts with couples that she had been on since her late 20s. She said her polyamorous experiences have been full of "curiosity, open-mindedness, and sense of adventure" that have helped her better deal with mental health issues.
"But it wasn't until I started sleeping with couples that I shed my shame about those qualities, let alone embraced them in all areas of my life," she said.
"Finding the strength to explore these more complicated, passionate aspects of my personality became the key to harnessing my voice and creative spark, which in turn helped me better cope with depression, anxiety, and the lingering cognitive effects of adolescent anorexia."
Giuliani said she was in a loving long-term, monogamous relationship before she started exploring polyamory, but she knew something was missing.
"I did know that my partner loved me despite my weird wildness, while I yearned to be with someone who loved me because of it," she wrote.
Finding and accepting this "wildness," she said, means she is now "much more peaceful." She's also explored her bisexuality, which eventually led to her identifying as pansexual.
"I am attracted to people based on their presence and energy regardless of their biological sex, gender, or gender identity," she said.
When a straight polyamorous couple seeks a single bisexual woman to sleep with, this is known as "unicorn hunting," and it is something of a cliché in the poly community.
"She's known as 'the unicorn' because she's so rare and almost mythical," Elisabeth Sheff, the author of 'The Polyamorists Next Door' told Insider in a previous article. "As it turns out, it's every straight boy's fantasy."
Giuliani said in her essay that she would love to live in a world where sex is discussed openly, and there is no judgment. She noted she has been "slut-shamed" for most of her life, and is now "fiercely committed to telling stories that reduce the stigma surrounding
"Before I started living the unicorn life, I wouldn't have had the confidence to list those qualities or even feel certain that they are positive traits," she said. "Even now, I feel the urge to disclaim that I'm also excessively aware of my many flaws. But if you cannot identify and be proud of your strengths, it's impossible to nurture them in the face of self-doubt."
Giuliani said she is also keen to tackle misconceptions about polyamorous people, such as that they are somehow less responsible. The opposite may be true, she said, because "shining a communal light on sexuality makes it harder for darkness, like assault and trauma, to fester."
She said she eventually hopes to find a "monogamish" relationship but is enjoying the sex-positive community while she waits.
"I want a bond strong and trusting enough to experience threesomes from the couple's perspective, but like unicorns, such relationships are rare," she said. "I am still seeking mine."
