    I think primes separated by 69 are the true sexy primes.

    Try separations of 30 or 60. You can get strings of six primes this way, such as 7,37,67,97,127,157 and 11,71,131,191,251,311. Other multiples of six produce 5-strings, and higher-order primorials and their multiples should give better strings.

    Is it unnatural if I'm starting to get sexually attracted to numbers now?
