Is sexual talk between spouses before intercourse considered foreplay or indecency and ill manners?

The basic ruling is that sexually arousing speech between spouses is permissible, and it falls under foreplay and endearment. It was reported that Imam Malik disliked vulgar speech during intercourse because it contradicts noble manners and because he did not see it practiced by the predecessors. Some scholars also reported a dislike for excessive speech during intercourse.
