Will multiple dashes in a domain name look spammy to search engines and hurt SEO?

The dashes make it much more readable to me, but I've heard that search engines don't like domains with multiple dashes because so many have been used by sites that have spammed search engines. Should I avoid using multiple dashes in my domain name because of this even though it might make my domain name less readable?
