Its only a valve. Topologically speaking, the passage from the mouth to the anus only constitutes one hole.

The passage of air into the lungs is not a hole however, that is a cavity. Same difference with the vagina, that's not a hole, that's a cavity.

That's really just a modern problem. If you were part of a tribe walking out of Africa, you'd never have that problem. Our feet are pretty impressive actually
