How does a tent have a sphincter?

It is a tent designed to allow one to survive in desert. So it needs to be airtight to make sure that no water leaks out (so it can be captured in the catch pockets), and no sand gets in.

Then I should probably not add the fact that his (Paul Atreides') mother was in the tent as well.

I am trying not to think about this.
