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

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

'promiscuous person cuddling large female' is the wordplay.
'promiscuous person' becomes 'goer' (goer is a kind of person. I am not sure about the 'promiscuous' bit.).
'cuddling' indicates putting letters inside.
'large' becomes 'l'.
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'l'+'f'='lf'
'goer' enclosing 'lf' is 'GOLFER'.

Can you help me to learn more?
