AmE uses "rent". "Borrow" or "lend" (John lends, 'he' borrows) would be appropriate if no money is involved. "Swinging" is slang for married couples that swap.

What about:
He talked John into letting him take his young wife for a night.
'To take' in this sentence will imply in a sexual sense but not necessarily with her consent.
