I believe the answer is:

salon

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

This could be a double definition.

'where exhibitionists go' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

'hairdressing?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for salon that I've seen before include "(Room for) gathering of distinguished people" , "Place of business for eg beautician" , "Literary gathering" , "Loans for elegant guest room" , "Room where beautician works" .)
