The X-ConVict should be responsive (comes up with a tug) at first, but will turn unresponsive (Will require binding)

My X-Convict is basically dead unresponsive. If you can’t get something to bind, work on binding then. You might not be throwing the loop enough or might be using too small of a loop.

yes the x-convict requires a bind. probably not on the first few days but once broken in it will be unresponsive. you could always get some thick lube, but i highly recomend learning to bind. it will be a lot more helpful to you in the future.
