Fuck. I wrote a long (I would like to believe) thoughtful entry and DW ate it. Here are a few bits.
I think there are a few subcultures where there is pressure to identify as bi, and a few people might pretend to be bi to have social cachet in those cultures.
I also think there's absolutely no way to tell, at least over a short period of time, whether an individual person is pretending or sincerely experimenting or naturally moving along the Kinsey spectrum.
I think that people get to identify as bisexual and still be in monogamous relationships. I think that people should use labels as a way to start conversations, not fend them off.
