Ok. I double checked in Wikipedia and 'pedophile' (which you spelled correctly and I did not) may be a strong term.
Generally, as I am guessing you know, a pedophile is an adult who has sex with a child.
You are on the upper edge of 'child', but I believe in many places, it is illegal for an adult (18+) to have sex with someone under the age of 18, who is also more than 5 years younger than him. Your bf is 7 years older. That may be an issue under the law.
Here is a page with age of consents for each of the states. See if you can figure out what it is saying about wherever you live:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_North_America#United_States
Either way, I, personally, think sex with this guy might not be your best bet. He seems controlling and getting yourself all tangled up in the attachment emotions that will come from having sex with him will just make the situation more difficult/confusing for you.
(Also: a tip from the old to the young: Sex for women feels SO MUCH better at 25 than it does at 18. It does feel good at 18, but you don't need to worry about missing anything if you decide to wait/take a break. Better things are in store for you!)

Someone who take advantage of young children, if you don't watch out who you are talking to on the internet it can happen to you, I wish that some of these underage kids would stop responding to all who is one the internet because he just may be a pedophile. There are some older guys out there who is just plain crazy, so be careful who you talk to on the internet. By the way I'm 40 years old. See you didn't know how old I was, the internet is great, but just be careful.

The suffix pedo- stems from Greek pais (genitive paidos) from 1905, which means "child" + philos "loving." It was first attested in Havelock Ellis. The derivative noun pedophile as it is used today was first recorded 1951.

they touch people without permission.if one ever encounters a creep who attempts this,gouge them in the eyeballs.try to get the pedophile's wallet while they're not paying attention because a natural reaction when gouged in the eyeballs is to protect them with their pedophile hands.never run in a straight line.try to run in a zig zag motion.in case the pedophile tries to throw something at you,the creep will have a slimmer chance at actually hitting you.then turn their i.d. over to the police.
