play with oneself
Solo sexual gratification
Play with oneself is a euphemism for masturbation.
The phrase maintains plausible innocence while clearly implying self-stimulation: His mother caught him playing with himself.
It's milder than clinical or vulgar alternatives, often used when speaking to or about children, or when directness feels awkward.
