"Aristotelian Lit Crit

Aristotle, the ancient Greek philosopher known for his love of sodomy, published Poetics to impress the boy he was dating at the time, who enjoyed poems that praise and celebrate buggery. The treatise originated the terms mimesis, meaning show me yours and I’ll show you mine, and catharsis, meaning ejaculation, which are still widely used by literary critics with a penchant for sodomy. Aristotle saw literary works as the equivalent of a linguistic sexual act in which, following the exposition, or foreplay, an inciting moment, usually involving nudity, leads to the rising action, or erection, that, in turn, reaches its dramatic and physiological apex at the climax, or orgasm, whereupon the reader, if male, ejaculates if the literary work is well written, before succumbing to the work’s falling action, or flaccidity, and, finally, ending either in a catastrophe, if the work is unsatisfying emotionally, or with the resolution, or cleanup. His model, slightly revised, continues to influence modern critics and readers alike."
