My husband and I have used pullout + avoiding fertile window for a long time successfully as birth control and we have had an experience where sometimes he will have a fair amount come out without actually having an orgasm. He says it is something to do with the pulling out, like it starts to happen and then he kinda panics and stops and/or pulls out, and the O stops in its tracks but some teeny Elvises leave the building anyway. I have actually seen it happen and it would 100% for sure be enough to get someone pregnant. He can O right after that and then make a second batch (somewhere he is dying of embarrassment right now without knowing why!!) He says it doesn't really feel like anything other than trying to not have an orgasm, and if he wouldn't have been relatively expert at pulling out, he could be tricked by it in the heat of the moment. I suspect that many times when people are getting pregnant from pullout it may be this phenomenon going on and he may not realize it even happened, he could still pull out and O right after it happened without ever even knowing that he had shot a load in there if that makes sense. :p
