About

The TikTok Water Park Trend and Fire D Trend, also known as Me Without My Water Park vs. Me with My Water Park, refers to a TikTok slideshow trend in which men refer to their girlfriends, wives and partners as their "water park," meaning that they're "wet" for them during intercourse. In the slideshows, two photos are presented, one labeled "Me Without My Water Park" (showing the man alone) and one labeled "Me with My Water Park" (showing the man and his partner). The male version was inspired by the female version that instead attests Me Without My Fire D vs. Me With My Fire D. The "Fire D" trend was inspired by an Instagram comment shared by Gypsy Rose Blanchard. Starting in early 2024, the slideshows used the Future song "The Percocet & Stripper Joint" ("I just tried acid for the first time I'm feeling good"). As many added to the trend, it was criticized by others on the app who viewed it as disrespectful.
