Osmotic Pressure
Osmosis is the tendency of water to flow from high concentration to low concentration. Osmosis, gravity, pressure, and matrix effects (cohesion, surface tension, etc.) all factor into the final water potential.
the tendency of a fluid, usually water, to pass through a semipermeable membrane into a solution where the solvent concentration is higher, thus equalizing the concentrations of materials on either side of the membrane.
I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with orgasms. Try spelling it "osmoregulation". For that, Wikipedia says: Osmoregulation is the active regulation of the osmotic pressure of an organism's fluids to maintain the homeostasis of the organism's water content; that is, it keeps the organism's fluids from becoming too diluted or too concentrated. Osmotic pressure is a measure of the tendency of water to move into one solution from another by osmosis. The higher the osmotic pressure of a solution, the more water tends to move into the solution. Pressure must be exerted on the hypertonic side of a selectively permeable membrane to prevent diffusion of water by osmosis from the side containing pure water.
I believe you are talking about diffusion - when particles move from an area of high concentation to an area of lower concentration.
When the concentration of the glucose in the water outside the cell is higher than the concentration inside, the water will then have a tendency to leave the cell. The process of the water leaving the cell will be by osmosis.

Liquid diffusion, leading to a solution with an intermediate concentration.
osmosis. The water moves down an osmotic gradient from a dilute solution of ions to a move concentrated solution through a partially permiable membrane.

Not diffusion!
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a water permeable membrane. The gradient is the tendency of the water molecules to move from the side of higher concentration of water to the side with lower concentration of water in an attempt to achieve equilibrium.
Diffusion generally and called osmosis for the diffusion of water.
Drugs are most often absorbed in the gastrointestinal system through a process called passive diffusion. Passive diffusion works because particles in a solution tend to even out. A high concentration of particulate seeps into low areas of concentration until a balance is achieved.

Wind flows from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure. The Coriolis effect influences wind direction by deflecting its path to the right in the Northern hemisphere and to the left in the Southern hemisphere.
