It most certainly was designed for sex--the separation of rear openings is quite a recent innovation in genetic history.
60% of US AIDS cases occur in 1.4% of the the population: homosexual men. Not to mention the havoc it wreaks on the rectum, per a nurse friend of mine.
Uh huh, however, homosexuals in committed long term relationships are not amongst this statistic to any significant extent. Most marital abuse cases occur between heterosexual couples--why doesn't that raise alarm bells concerning heterosexual coupling?
why are rectal exams ok? Because they are pursued in moderation, in safe, clean conditions, perhaps?
How recent? 100,000 years ago? 1 million?

Not many of those, according to studies:
1.) Few homosexual relationships last longer than two years, but in a study of 156 males in homosexual relationships lasting from 1-37 years, "all couples with a relationship lasting more than five years have incorporated some provision for sexual activity outside of their relationships." (David P. McWhirter and Andrew M. Mattison, The Male Couple: How Relationships Develop, Englewood Cliffs: Prentice Hall, 1984, pp. 252, 253
2.) Clinicians Mattison and Mcwhirter studied 156 long-term homosexual relationships, but found that not one couple was able to maintain sexual fidelity for more than five years. most maintained a monogamous relationship for less than one year. (The Male Couple: How Relationships Develop)
3.)In a study of 2,583 older homosexuals, "the model range for number of sexual partners was 101-500 (Paul Van de Ven "A Comparative Demographic and Sexual Profile of Older Hoimosexually Active Men," Journal of Sex Research 34 (1997): 354)
4. According to the Centers For Disease Control, 50% of male homosexuals had over 500 sexual partners (Rotello, G. (1997). Sexual Ecology: AIDS and the Destiny of Gay Men. NY: Dutton)
5.)For homosexual men, the term "monogamy" doesn't necessarily mean sexual exclusivity. The term "open relationship" has for a great many homosexual men come to have one specific definition: A relationship in which the partners have sex on the outside often, put away their resentment and jealously, and discuss their outside sex with each other, or share sex partners. (Michelangelo Signorile, Life Outside (New York: Harper Collins, 1997), p. 213)

I've never had one, but I've heard they are not pleasant. Plus I assume they occur no more than once a year.
To compare anal sex to a rectal exam is a joke. Besides the rarity and cleanliness of the later, the former involves contact with fecal matter, a harbinger of disease. Hence the term "gay bowel syndrome", involving all sorts of parasitic diseases. Not to mention that the tissue of the rectum is fragile, leading to tears that facilitate the transfer of the AIDS virus.
