It would be like living in black and white.
Diagnosis of Antisocial personality disorder is documented to be significantly more common among men than among women.[1]
Central to identifying individuals exhibiting characteristics of the disorder is that they appear to experience a limited range of human emotions. This can explain their lack of empathy for the suffering of others, since they cannot experience the emotion associated with either empathy or suffering.[citation needed] Risk-seeking behavior and substance abuse may be attempts to escape feeling empty or emotionally void.[citation needed] The rage exhibited by sociopaths, as well as the anxiety associated with certain presentations of antisocial personality disorder, may represent the limit of emotion(s) experienced, or might also suggest physiological responses, without analogy to emotion, experienced by others

It would be lonely. There are people that have senses but no emotion. Jeffrey Dahmer, Macy, Speck had senses but no emotion. I believe there are good and senses. It just depends on what an individual prefers. Emotions are like the sunglasses of your life. Feeling angry? Every thing you experience is colored with that emotion or mixture of emotions. The same can be said for fear, joy, empathy, hate, jealousy, love, greed, selfishness, contentment, etc. Emotions serve great purposes. Some keep us safe, such as fear, others we often say make us human, like anger and compassion. All have varying degrees of intensity. All with symbolism that says so much about you. All connected to your belief system.

It would be like that anime: "Darker Than Black"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darker_than_Black
(here's an excerpt)
"Contractors are individuals who have gained superhuman powers due to the appearance of the Hell's Gate. The existence of Contractors is kept secret to the general public by most governments around the world, but they are well-known to the higher echelons of society and the criminal underworld. Contractors possess two other traits that give them their rather sinister reputation: the need to perform renumeration, which is a bizarre, obsessive compulsive-like "payment" for the use of their powers, and a generally pragmatic, Machiavellian world view. This is described by the Contractors themselves as a lack of emotion in general, but not much evidence exists to verify this claim. Many Contractors exhibit at least some forms of emotion, including humor, joy, cruelty, and sadness."

You need to watch the movie, Equilibrium. It's a movie about a society who thinks that emotion is the cause of war, therefore they've come up with a drug to eliminate the source of emotion within the body. And those caught not taking their drugs, are considered "sense offenders" and are executed.
Very cool film....You should watch it. It might answer your question.

Response to Larry the Don - the idea that autistic people do not have emotions is untrue. Autistic people do have emotions, however, in severe cases of autism, the autistic person may express them in ways that are much different than the norm.

It is impossible to live without emotion but going by the hypothesis, a person without emotion is dead.

I don't think it's possible to be conscious and aware and not have emotions.
It is entirely possible to learn not to label our emotions as "good" or "bad", and instead see them as guides to personal growth.
Oddly enough, self-control is very liberating and pleasurable.
