Such traffic converts incredibly well to sales because the owner knows what the people typing in the URL are looking for and can serve the relevant product.

Z.com is a fantastic URL but it's much clear as to what visitors (if any) would be looking for.

Sex.com would have to be valued based on the capital value plus a multi-year calculation of the revenue generated by URL.
