I had a friend once who thought that doubling up on a condom meant double protection. That's a huge no no.

I knew someone who said women's vagina had 5 holes and seriously argued with me about it. I thought he was trying to troll me and when he said he paid a prostitute and looked up close I just left without saying anything else.

Technically a vagina has six holes (assuming this guy is talking about the whole genital when he says vagina):

The urethra, where pee comes out

The vagina, where sex

Two paraurethral glands (Skene’s glands), which secrete lubricating mucous during arousal and also produce female ejaculate when squirting (it’s not piss!) - these glands are analogous to prostatic glands in males

Two greater vestibular glands (Bartholin glands, which are paravaginal), which also secrete lubricating fluid.

Although I would advise against putting anything in those last four (they are visible to the naked eye but still very small). Also not sure how he counted 5.

This was around 30 years ago maybe more. But I'm 99.99% sure he had no idea what a gland is or any anotomical knowledge to know where to look. At the time his only real life experience in person with a vagina was when he came to this world.

Even grocery stores don't double bag anymore.
