Nowadays the myths of romantic love are still present when establishing expectations regarding romantic relationships, which entails a series of risks. The objective of this research was to analyze whether sexual orientation plays a moderating role in the relationship between gender and the internalization of these myths, as well as to determine whether gender and sexual orientation influence their internalization. A sample of 435 young adults residing in Spain between 18 and 35 years of age was obtained. These responded to a questionnaire that included the aforementioned sociodemographic variables and the Romantic Love Myths Scale (SMLR). The results showed a moderating effect of sexual orientation on the relation between gender and internalization of myths of romantic love. On the other hand, a significant correlation was observed between these last two variables. It was also observed that men manifested significantly more myths than other genders. Likewise, heterosexual people presented significantly higher scores compared to bisexuals; and in turn, homosexual people obtained significantly higher scores than the bisexual group. Finally, it was observed that heterosexual men's scores were significantly higher compared to those from heterosexual women’s, bisexual women, bisexual men and bisexual non-binary people. These results can be used to propose actions that prevent and intervene in the elimination of these myths from the collective imagination.
