I believe the answer is:

naturists

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'strippers' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'stir aunts into action' is the wordplay.
'into action' is an anagram indicator (letters become active or mobile).
'stir'+'aunts'='stiraunts'
'stiraunts' anagrammed gives 'NATURISTS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for naturists that I've seen before include "Those going naked" , "Nudists" .)
