Unsimulated sex scenes in a movie

Sorry but they had 2 intimacy coordinators on the set. Intimacy coordinators means no sex!
You're not wrong, not entirely anyways in that intimacy coordinators are generally only present on productions that are under union contract, and union contracts strictly prohibit unsimulated sex. This is the case with SAG, but admittedly I have no knowledge as to how labor contracts work outside of the states and this was a foreign production.

So porn/adult films are non-union. What if someone wanted to merge the two genres, a feature film with adult content?

It seems if you did porn with acting, you'd make sure they could act, have good sets and writing and all of that. The performers would be unknown or porn stars. You'd end up with hot stories but using experimental actors.

If you did a television show or movie under Sag Aftra, most of the talent would refuse nudity or both unsimulated and simulated sex, make statements of their contracts and rights. You'd end up with boring simulated sex/doubles and standard acting at extremely high prices.

You get something like 9 Songs, which is a British production, so they can probably get around SAG Aftra

@Khegan is correct and added to that, 80% of US filmmakers are not SAG affiliated and union guidelines are not applicable to their productions.
 
Halley Berry and Billy bob Thorton. Monster’s ball. She got an Oscar for letting him fuck her on camera. There was a scene where u see his balls from side as she was riding him. And quick looking chest down . They removed those shots from later production versions
 
It’s very common for Lars Von Trier to use porn star body doubles. Charlotte Gainsbourg, Shia LaBeouf, Uma Thurman, Stellan Skarsgård and Christian Slater are all doubled for this film. Similar to Antichrist by Von Trier with Gainsbourg and Willem Dafoe using body doubles for the sex scene. However for that one, Von Trier said he had to as Dafoe apparently is so well packing he thought it was distracting.
They didn’t use doubles. They say that so the actors can save face . Shia labeouf, said he tried acid and filmed himself having sex with his gf just to method act. Fast forward The stuff sent him crazy
