[ Not very is an accurate assessment. It's a lot of fine-line-walking in practice. Trusting his intuition's been handy, and not getting gun-shy (so to speak) has done him a few favors in the time he's been letting himself try to get out there.
Every person brings their own learning curve, and trying to figure out what they'll like is much easier with a partner who has patience and restraint. Trying to figure out the limitations on what he can give is particularly easier with patience and restraint. There's... mutual vulnerability. Balancing of control. Getting used to a little bit of jaw soreness, too, but that's more like being sore after a very satisfying workout.
The next thrust is an adjustment. The one following it comes a little easier. Not exactly hitting the limit, but skirting the edge of how much he knows he can take in at once for sure. Finn doesn't brook any protest over it. After a moment's consideration he splays the fingers of his free hand on one of Jim's hips as a precautionary measure. It feels like a solid strategy just in case he goes down a little too far trying to meet Jim halfway. It might be a matter of time. Probably good to have the leverage for a quick readjustment if it does.
What Finn mostly knows right now is that gagging himself is not now, nor has it ever been, on his acceptable things to do when going down on someone list. ]
