Would a Sakadagami invovle themself in sensual pleasure if provoked?
Re: Would a Sakadagami invovle themself in sensual pleasure if provoked?
According to commentaries Mahanama from MN14 was Sakadagami, but he was puzzled why regardless of his penetration in the Dhamma he still experiance greed, avertion and delusion. Buddha said him that it is because he dont mastered jhanas, and if he would mastered them then he would abandon the lay life.

Of course not because even if desire might arise there is right view and thus renunciation.
