COMMENTS

Convention: a prime pair is <= n iff its smallest member is <= n.

Since there are 2 congruence classes of sexy prime pairs, (-1, -1) (mod 6) and (+1, +1) (mod 6), the number of sexy prime pairs up to n is the sum of the number of sexy prime pairs for each class, expected to be asymptotically the same for both (with the expected Chebyshev bias against the quadratic residue class (+1, +1) (mod 6), which doesn't affect the asymptotic distribution among the 2 classes.)

EXAMPLE

First sexy prime pairs: (5,11),(7,13),(11,17),(13,19), ...

therefore the sequence starts: 0 0 0 0 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 4 ...
