When a novel or series is anticlimactic, or gets really good and then just stops. A technique employed by author's to hold the readers attention, only to leave them unsatisfied.
In J.K. Rowling's series "Harry Potter", the reader experiences much suspense and excitement in books 1-6, only to experience literary blueballs with her unsasitfying epilogue.

Theist: (Insert you god Here) exists because (insert respective religious text) says so
Atheist: you realize you just gave a literary handjob right?

"Well, it's simple. He's trying to say that guys are trying to avoid talking about their feelings because they don't want to lose all sense of masculinity, which is something they feel they should be able to always count on. Is that right, David?"

"I only read your introduction and I got that? Yes! I am SUCH a literary beast!"
