a domain name question

[the-photographer]

why it is better to have a domain without - in the name? i mean domains with - in the middle sounds sometimes better, or I an wrong?

Surfers aren't used to type -'s
iwantsex.com types faster then i-want-sex.com

Its always good to have your keywords in a domain but usually a - is not advised as people dont think that way in a search

[Fat Panda]

i would never buy a domain with a - in it,

but i do own e-b-a-y.com
