Is having a fully pressurized space suit necessary for surviving in space? What if only all orifices were actually pressurized, ie. mouth, eyes, nose, ears, and so on? What problems would arise with such a suit?

When you take a breath of oxygen pressurized for your biology, it enters your lungs, expands and you explode

You would get divers' disease and die a very uncomfortable death

Your blood would "boil" out of your skin. Worse, all the oxygen in your blood would be sucked out into the void and you'd die in agony, suffocating.

well, you only need to be pressurized to 4 psi at bare minimum.

you can have a suit that uses mechanical pressure to too. though you will need custom fitted suit and foam inserts. because spots of low pressure will present problems.

liquids inside your body would turn to gas and rip through the skin. You would lose the liquids simply evaporating off your skin too. Also, you would die from radiation and cold.

You would get frost bite and get bruising everywhere and likely be in a lot of pain
Though you could survive for several minutes doing this

>frostbite

Just on your feet though, right? Or wherever you're making contact with the lunar surface

people on earth get frostbite on their fingers without touching any terran surfaces.

Pressurized helmet connected to an unpressurized tight fitting suit that applies mechanical pressure on skin.

How would you keep your asshole pressurized? Your crew mates wouldn't want your poop flying around in zero-g.
