I don't think so. The actual goal is to be philosophical zombie:
-Reverend Nagasena, what is the difference between the lustful man and the man free from lusts?
- My King, the man free of lusts experiences the taste only of the food. The lustful man experiences both the taste and the pleasure of the food.

Problem solved if you are s philosophical zombie: -Reverend Nagasena, what is the difference between the lustful man and the man free from lusts?
- My King, the man free of lusts experiences the taste only of the food. The lustful man experiences both the taste and the pleasure of the food.
