Retirement is a stage that is not faced in the same way by everyone, since, according to experts, it does not affect women and men in the same way. The philosopher José Carlos Ruiz points out that it is “the great problem of the 21st century, how free time has been structured before retirement.”
This ensures that “the pedagogy of pleasure that you have been educating outside of your work time and your duties has disappeared” and explains that free time is structured as “productive leisure time”, that is, the aim is to get something out of leisure.
Nuria Roca suggests that perhaps the error lies in “associating retirement with low productivity”, but the philosopher replies that “it does not have to be productive”, but rather “joyful”. Free time also has to be, although he explains that if you want it to be productive, you begin to demand it and “the demand takes away delight,” she says.
Juan del Val maintains that being more or less entertained during retirement has to do with money: “If you are stiff, retirement is going to be more boring.” Given this, Ruiz affirms that money is a condition but “it greatly determines how you have educated pleasure throughout your life”, the ability to have chosen to seek delight and not productivity.
“Old age begins when one loses the ability to both seduce and be seduced by something or someone,” he comments, and declares that, when retirement arrives, if one has an appetite for seduction, one can find “a panoply of things that will seduce gigantic”.
