Detuning bongos after play

I believe I broached on the subject a long while before, but maybe I didn't ask the question quite clearly (and deservedly, as I recollect didn't get clear answers ...)
Suppose you have tuned your natural skins bongos to "satisfaction". You live in temperate climate (say, Europe):
1--- After playing them, do you release the tensioning on your Macho and Hembra to avoid damage to the shell and skins ?
2--- If yes, how many turns or fraction of turns of the lug nuts do you use for the release ?
3--- Do you release both Macho and Hembra, or only the Macho ?
