Smile play with somebody

Hi
I encountered a sentence in a reading passage for senior high school students. The sentence is quite simple: Would you like to play with me? However, a native speaker of English told me that for anyone older than 12, 'Would you like to play with me?' often has a vulgar meaning. I googled this sentence and found a lot of citations, but there is no indication that this sentence bears a vulgar meaning.
So, can any native speaker of English tell me whether it is true that it bears a vulgar meaning?
Thanks a lot.
