It depends upon the context whether "Do you want to play with me?" is sexual or not.

I have no clue though one of them is given.

"Do you want to play with me?"
"Don't play with me."may be.
"Hey,Play with him/her."

I haven't heard 3 rd setence yet.

hahaha
You know!! I thinks I have a bit similar situation. I was calling all boys who I talk with: My boyfriend. An I thought that boyfriend means a lover and a normal friend. When my friend says to me who is he?, I just say: he is my boyfriend. After some days and when she asks me about other guy: who is he?, I say he is my boyfriend as well :D. How shameful. But now I knew that the word boyfriend means a lover.
Also, I was calling my frinds(girls) my girlfriend, so people laughed at me a lot. And a lot of them thought that I'm a ***. What a pity.
Anyway I call my lover my sacred man. Or God's angel.

Possible contexts:
