I can understand this belief and of course everyone has a right to it. However, for me, there is something about rimming that goes far beyond the general conception. I have found it is definitely a skill that has to be studied and expanded (I can hear the snickers already ). I found the more I was with people, saw in porn movies, or even read online the more I incorporated things I wanted to do into my technique and they became part of my rimming. Ironically this included periodic kissing. So rimming can be incredibly intimate.
