that is purely for seo

for branding people prefer non-hyphenated, but you asked about seo
True in my experience. SE algos have become quite good in parsing domain names but many keyword domains can not always be parsed correctly.

whorepresents.com could parse as "who represents".com
or as "whore presents".com

who-represents.com would always parse as "who represents".com since hyphens parse as a space. Much like "and", "the", etc

expertsexchange.com
therapistfinder.com
penisland.net
speedofart.com
