OH man, the itch is a really good analogy. I suddenly understand what is going on with Tourette's now. I mean, even discussing this topic I felt the need to scratch.

Prior to reading that analogy I just could not wrap my head around the "something they don't want to do but not actually involuntary."

The desire to scratch an itch explains it perfectly.
