No...: Suggest asking your surgeon how long to wait after surgery before safely engaging in any form of sexual intercourse.

I would not: I wouldn't do that.
Talk to your surgeon.
There are 3 different approaches for rectocele repair. Depends on your approach, however i'd caution you not to and speak with your surgeon.

Perhaps not: Anal sex could result in recurrence of the rectocele as well as damage to the repaired area.
