No, not only sex, but reading a book, speaking with someone, eating, excercise, being in love ... it's all stimulation of neural synapes. Is this the meaning of life?

For all life it's the same - food and reproduction

No, it's only the "means" of life.

For animals our nervous system is the thing that allows us to live and interact. It is not what you would call the meaning of life.
Plants, bacteria, fungi, and archaea are all alive yet possess no nerves whatsoever.
Reproduction is the main drive of life...to duplicate one's own genes is what life is really all about, however, it still does not fill the human "meaning" of life.
The "meaning of life" is an abstract human concept which is purely individual in nature...it relates to someone finding their niche or purpose in life so that they feel like they belong and are content in that position.
