como mantenes o perderdiste el invicto

This expression uses a sports metaphor to refer to a man's virginity. To mantenes el invicto, literally keeping the undefeated streak, means to remain a virgin. To perdiste el invicto means to have lost the streak by having sex for the first time. (Argentina's heavy soccer and sports culture often influences local slang metaphors.)

At your age and you still mantenes el invicto. I thought so, you are a bit older now and perdiste el invicto.
