When I was 13 I fell in love with a 13 year old boy. Neither of us had any obvious outward signs of puberty, though I know for sure I had started making semen some time previously. I imagine he probably had, too. He was 9 months older than I.

That sets the scene for my question.

Because the object of my adoration and my sexual desire was physically immature, was I a paedophile?

If so, by what standards? If not, by what rationale? And, does it matter anyway since it is as unlawful today for us to have had sex as it was then?
