How do you figure? Google still would recognize the domain as an exact match given the bolding of hyphenated matching domains in SERPs. If anything, people have argues that hyphens have made it easier for search engines to correctly splice the words of the name (though these days I doubt that's true - Google's algorithm is pretty smart

).
I've heard double-hyphens (i.e. milf--porn) causing issues but not single hyphens. Also, underscores in URLs are not treated like spaces, though perhaps that's changed in recent years.
