Unsimulated sex scenes in movies? Right or wrong? Equal to porn or not?

I recently came to know that in some movies actors perform actual sex for scenes.Eg,The brown bunny,caligula,etc.,
Is it really needed? Isn't it wrong to do these things which should be done with one you love?
Isn't it same as pornography or prostitution?
What about your opinions?

As far as I know movies where hardcore sex is performed count as pornographic. If you think that's wrong or not is up to you.

I heard of the film that won Palme d'Or at the Cannes Festival. It included sex that was not simulated, which held most buzz with the movie. Some viewed the scene as unrealistic. But isn't the point of that particular scene to be as realistic as possible? And in such a way it could be accepted as art and awarded such a prestigious recognition? I believe it's more the reason it's done that matters more than anything else.
