# Primes that are neither twin, cousin or sexy [closed]

I'm reading up on prime pairs, and I had a question... I can't seem to find an answer to this anywhere, and the wikipedia list of prime types is enormous! Afraid I missed it when going through it.

I know that many primes come in twin, cousin or sexy pairs (or sexy triplets, etc). Where can I find a list of primes that are NOT 2, 4, or 6 units higher/lower than another prime? :) Is it called anything specific?

Thanks!

Please clarify your specific problem or add additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it’s hard to tell exactly what you're asking. See the How to Ask page for help clarifying this question. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

These are just typical primes. No reason to give them a name because the majority of primes are of this "form" (and it's not so much a form as it is the absence of a form). Upper bound sieve theory shows that the number of primes up to $x$ which are twin/cousin/sexy is at most a constant times $\frac{x}{(\log x)^2}$, and it is conjectured that this is actually also the correct lower bound. Meanwhile, the number of primes up to $x$ is asymptotic to $\frac{x}{\log x}$, so the primes described in your question constitute a fraction of $1 -\frac{C}{\log x}$ of all primes. As $x$ grows very large this fraction gradually approaches 100% of primes; there is really nothing notable about these primes.
