"the first and largest single collection of free electronic books, or eBooks" (from their website). Everything is free because their copyrights have expired; it's all in the public domain. Therefore, it's a fab place to find oooold texts that discussed gender and sexuality. One of my favorite ones is Henry Stanton's Sex: Avoided Subjects Discussed in Plain English (circa 1922).
Here are some other wonderful links to texts about sex...

Aaand, there are some really awesome fairy tales available! MANY by the Grimm brothers, Frank L. Baum (and here and here), and many more - different cultures, time periods, languages are represented. Just type in "Fairy" in the second search box on the left column.
