All y'all are some vanilla prudes, missing out on the lacrimal ducts.
11 hole action or GTFO.

Are you interested in a career in HR? Because I have a large staff which needs to be managed
So... Mouth, nose... Does nose count as one or two? And the ears... Wait, thats already too many. How does she have only three?
Pores
Definitely don't count pores!
Or, apparently, put her near a lamp.
Sorry, typo fixed before I saw your comment. :P
Aww, too bad. I actually generally try not to tease about typos, I've made plenty myself, but occasionally I can't resist. Decent chance there's one in this comment and, just for fun, I'm not even going to proofread!
Thanks for being a good sport about it. For any future readers, the unedited post said "moth" instead of "mouth."
Hope that, whatever part of your day it is, it's a good one.
Same to you! :D
The world needs occasional fun with typos.
Don't forget bellybutton.
"Wow, three whole openings!"
I never really found out what the third was for.
You need to be careful with that one. She might get pregnant
Sex. They're all for sex.
Eating and breathing
The human body has 7 holes
a vagina alone has 6, so this is hardly accurate.
No, in topology those are pretty much just indents (I.E irrelevant)
For a hole to be considered a hole, it has to go through an object.
Ponders a klein vagina....
Booooo. We all know what a hole is, don't bring topology into this. I'll give you a plate for your drinks at my house if you pull this silliness.

Fewer when part of a human centipede.
I would argue that being part of a centipede doesn't reduce the number of holes, it just creates a more scenic route to the outside.
I'm really curious how you got that number? I guess eye sockets aren't counted, as topologically with how many of the tubes connect, it's probably something weird.
4 lacrimal ducts, 2 nostrils, 1 mouth and 1 anus = 8 interconnected holes. Subtract 1 (because a proper donut hole needs both an entrance and an exit) and you get 7.
I guess it could be argued that women have an extra hole, as there is a passage through each fallopian tube into the pelvic cavity.
Mouth/anus is just one hole since humans are doughnut shaped.
But it leaves out the urethra
It's not a through-hole, because you can't insert a small object into it and have it come out of some other opening
OP claimed there are 7 holes. Holes don't need an exit, and I'd like to know where you think inserting something into an orbit will naturally come out in a person you want to survive the experience.
If you count holes that don't have an exit, there are thousands of pores you could count
"The human body has 7 holes" is most likely a reference to [this vsauce video], and admittedly said video is the entirety of my knowledge on topology;
that should answer "I’m really curious how you got that number", and... probably the comment I'm replying to?
I'm not sure I understand your rhetorical curiosity, but humans usually insert food in their mouth which is then pushed through the entire through-hole while being exposed to gastric acid and whatnot;
another example are tears, entering the openings in the eyelids and coming out of the nostrils.
Urine is instead chemically produced by the kidneys, and, unless you consider the space between molecules (which AFAIK is not within the domain of topology), that doesn't count as one shape traversing a through-hole of another.
Topological holes are through-holes. If there is no exit, you could continuously deform the shape until the hole is gone
So if i dig a hole in the ground that's not a hole? Should we pivot to divot?
Correct, that's not a hole in the topological sense. A famous example is a coffee cup: the handle is a (through-) hole, but the inside of the cup is not. As such, the coffee cup is isomorphic (=identical in terms of their overall structure) to a donut.

50 cent had 12 briefly.
Pretty sure 7+9 is 16.
I don't follow in the dogma of the ears and nose, since you can't fuck them...
That's quitter talk.
since you can't fuck them.
As opposed to the bullet holes then?
Exactly! You're getting it now.
Build of you to assume I have human anatomy.
