Pecho Frío es un hombre común. Está casado, vive en Lima, Perú y trabaja como banquero. No lleva una vida muy emocionante, pero tampoco tiene nada de que quejarse... hasta el día en que decide concursar en un programa de televisión donde se enfrenta con la oportunidad de ganar un viaje lujoso. Todo lo que tiene que hacer es una cosa aparentemente sencilla: besar al anfitrión del programa. Renuente, pero también ansioso por reclamar su premio, acepta el reto, y antes de siquiera darse cuenta, se encuentra entrelazando lenguas con otro hombre, mientras todo queda grabado en televisión en vivo.
Lo que se desarrolla es una serie de, uno diría, "eventos desafortunados". Su matrimonio se resquebraja, sus colegas lo rechazan, y la siempre conservadora sociedad latinoamericana en la que vive lo convierte en el tonto de la ciudad. Pero hay una ventaja: se convierte en la cara de una vociferante organización LGBT y, de alguna manera, su vida da un giro hacia lo inesperado.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Jaime Bayly impresses with this humorous and satirical novel in which he explores homosexuality's place in Latin American society and challenges the status quo.
Pecho Frio is an ordinary and average man. He is married, lives in Lima, Peru and works as a banker. He doesn't lead a very exciting life at all. One day he decides to enter a contest on a television show where he could win a luxurious trip. All he has to do is one seemingly simple thing: kiss the male host of the show. Reluctant, but also eager to claim the grand prize, he accepts the challenge, and before he knows it, he finds himself tongue wrestling another man, while everything is being played on live television.
Soon thereafter his marriage falls apart and his colleagues reject him. But something good does come out of it all: he becomes the spokesperson for a loud and determined LGBT organization and, somehow, his life takes an unexpected turn.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
