Yes, pedestry was the form. But that goes back to my point about learned sexuality. Pedestry in Sparta was institutionalised and the relationships continued into adulthood.
It was real problem getting men to sleep with their wives when they came of age to marry.
On a more spculative note, I suspect this was the reason that Spartas standing army decreased in size so much in the later years.
