Penis Root Masturbation question

If anyone can offer some advice or insight it’d be very much appreciated. The animation showing how to do PRM shows the thumbs moving in a slow circular motion at the base of the penis. Is this the only way it should be done or is it also effective to use an up-down motion? Is the main point that the stimulation is at the base of the penis and no higher up than that? Or does it have to be that motion?

One reason I ask is because I think when I use an up-down motion it sort of tugs lightly on the foreskin and so may be indirectly stimulating the glans. I don’t want to be inadvertently doing something that won’t be effective. But, the circular motion doesn’t seem to do much for me, whereas the up-down motion does.

Any thoughts?
