This clue might be a double definition.

'has an inclination' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'playboys' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rakes that I've seen before include "degenerates" , "Libertines or garden tools" , "Dissolute fellows" , "Inclinations" , "scrapes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
