I am 100% sure that the first domain name will be ranked higher that the second one. I admit that i have no idea why is happening such thing, but experience in SEO practice proves that.

From my experience, I would also say that Google seems to rank domains
without hyphens higher most of the time for the higher competition kw phrases.
I did a few random searches on google and got these results:
The search query
Porn returns only one result in top 20 with a hyphenated domain name.
The search query
Sex returns only one result in the top 40 with a hyphenated domain name and it's #40.
The search query
Porno Movies returns only two results in top 20 with a hyphenated domain name. Hyphen domain actually holds #1 here.
The search query
Big Tits returns NO results in the top 50 with a hyphenated domain name.
The search query
Cumshot Vids returned NO results in top 20 with a hyphenated domain name.
The search query
Blowjob Porn Movies returned two results in top 20 with domains using a hyphen.
Search query
Black Porn Clips returned NO results in top 20 with a hyphenated domain name.
I see a pattern here, but I'm sure there are other examples that show otherwise?
