A quick guess would be there are numerous ‘holes’ internally, but even if we don’t count them and only look to the outside of the body then there’s ducts (for tears, nipples etc).
Also the skin has pores for sweating etc, and we are talking millions on the body. Just because they don’t gape open then that doesn’t mean they can not be counted.
I mean, your arsehole doesn’t (shouldn’t) gape open like nostrils but we count that as a hole.
Same at the urethra, it shouldn’t gape, it really shouldn’t…but colloquially jokingly called the dickhole.
And the eye are only really holes once the eyes are taken away.
Is a hole really a hole if it’s blocked by something that should actually be there?
If I scoop my eye out then there’s a hole. If I then cover that hole with a snails shell then I’ve covered the hole. If I get an eye transplant then is there still a hole? Yes, and no…but I can ‘see’ (pun intended) why others would see it differently.
If eyes, arse and dick are counted as holes then, I think, so should the pores.
Plus piercings, maybe?
There’s probably more.
Yeah, there are the major holes that most of us think of initially but, technically, there’s far more.
