Sex is not meaningful at all. It's literally just two people using each other's bodies to get themselves off. All pleasure, no meaning.

Well yeah but what if you're not trying to do that? Then it's just two monkeys fucking. Arguably the least meaningful thing you could ever do.

The mixed experience of acknowledging the suck so that you can make fun of it.  For example, we imagine our superiors are making us do stupid shit because they're assholes, rather than directly face the fact that they're 24 year old kids trying to make changes on a static board to please their superiors and we're all in an impossible situation.

"Go stop those guys from killing those other guys but don't kill any guys doing it and definitely don't die." Oh sure, you betcha, gonna get right on that and I love it. Great plan.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Are you a sex repulsed asexual, by any chance?
Regardless, it only matters what is meaningful to them, not anyone else.

That is, if you're so shallow you're only doing it for your own pleasure.

No one would have sex if they, themselves, weren't getting something out of it. It's an inherently selfish act.
