星級國民 insisted that:
"lay with me" is also a very odd phrase. One play with toys, matches(fire risk!), plasticine etc, which are usually objects rather than a person.

O ...
Yes, I do insist. If you would like dictionaries as authority, I see nothing in Advanced Learner to suggest proper usage of "play with". Let us refer to some more authoritative source.
The New Shorter Oxford Dictionary V2, p 2245. Under the head word "play" as verb (meaning 13)
13 v.i. follow by with, amuse oneself with, sport with, touch or finger lightly by the way of amusement, treat or do lightly or frivolously, trifle or toy with, colloq. masturbate.
Or using a dictionary good for its usage in context, the Collins COBUILD dictionary explains on P. 1259
(6) If you play with an object or with your hair, you keep moving it or touching it with your fingers, perhaps because you are bored or nervous. [pattern v with n].
I trust those trustworthly dictionaries.
