Play away – cryptically suggesting strips? (5,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sleep around

'play away' is the definition.

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for sleep around that I've seen before include "Behave promiscuously" , "have many partners" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
